>>I would like to distribute my application on CD and enable the Autorun feature. I did this numerous times in VFP5 successfully, but I'm getting an error in VFP6. As per Article Q172078, I renamed the setup.exe to autorun.exe. But when I run the autorun.exe, after a few steps I get a message saying that the file 'setup.exe' cannot be opened. Of course it can't, it no longer exists, but why is the installation looking for it? I tried this with both the 'netsetup' option and the 'websetup' option and had the same problem. I've already upgraded my Setup Wizard. Anyone else do this successfully?

I'm not even up to testing the actual 'autorun' part. I just want to make sure the installation works, so I'm running it from the network. I should be able to run the installation by running the autorun.exe, as I did numerous times in VFP5, but I'm getting the error. It seems to be looking for the setup.exe file.
