Paul,

I'm doing this (though I'm using InstallShield) simply copying the files to the cd. Be aware there are two ways to copy to a CD. One is the OLD format which is pretty much readable by most CD's. This method closes out any future writing to the cd. Copy it once and you can't use it again.

The other leave the cd available for future writes. Write to it once. Write to it a second time and you won't see the files you wrote first. This is great for testing but I always use the OLDER method in final release. Its safer. (Bought a PLEXWRITER 4/12x SCSI and a Adaptec 2920 SCSI board.)
