help plz making program run from cd

[garnyp]

i have a program called solsuite its just a program with about 140 or so card games on it but i want to burn it to cd so it runs from cd how do i do it ?
all i have is the solsuite.exe wich will install the program to

C:\Program Files\SolSuite

if i just copy all the contents of that folder to a cd will i be able to run it from the cd if i uninstall the original game ?
thanks

That sounds reasonable - unless the game installs other system files and creates associations with other programs. In other words, any program which must be "registered" with Windows may have a hard time running as a stand-alone 32-bit program.

depends on what has been installed.
Generally there is a file called unistall.log (or there abouts) have a look in there for every file copied to your machine.
Look for hidden files - view, options, view, all files.
You may have to play with the registry - rename the folder that has the prog installed in (C:\Program Files\SolSuite ) and see if the prog wil run.....same as burning to a CD.

Nothing is idiot-proof. What sort of menu? A Program menu?

[garnyp]

what im looking for is an easy program so i can puts several probrams onto a disk s othat when i put the disk in my rom drom i can select what peogram i wish to install

[BipolarBill]

If you know HTML, you can autorun a web page that you can create with links to the Setup files in various folders on the CD.

If the path is defined on your menu as D:\Whatever\Whatever and you move the CD to E:, it won't work. The path should read \whatever\whatever. Have you tried The link that Rangeral provided for the Autorun tool?
