>>>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?

>This is how I did it in VFP5 and it worked great. Now I'm getting an error that it's looking for the setup.exe file. The path is correct, but the file doesn't exist because I renamed it. Why is it specifically looking for setup.exe? According to the KB article, this should work for VFP6, too.

I am not sure about the info in the KB, but I would not rename SETUP.EXE to AUTORUN.EXE. I woudl try it just as you always have. Looking through the SETUP.INF file, I see references to SETUP.EXE and not AUTORUN.EXE.
