    Need Help Making A Self Install Disk

    ok i have been working on this disk for a while now... and i got it to work it runs a runonce.cmd file that puts it all into the registry and when u restart it installs each program that is listed in that file. i just want it so when i put the disk in now and i can run it as if its a setup i can have a welcome screen then a screen where u can select all the programs u want to install and not install (a check list) then i want it to do a unattended install of those programs

    ok now i need to do the setup thingy i just dont know how to. i was thinking about using a autorun program but i dont think it can do what i want it to do. i also dont know any coding except html lol.....

    if someone can help me thanks alot ! it would be a great help


    it might sound like i know what i am doin but i really do i just cant explain it that well i guess

    probably need to learn some coding in vb.net or c#, maybe c, but the thing to do would bne to create an .msi installer http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

    If you want to save yourself some trouble create a flash document or something like that that opens when the CD is inserted, and from there you can install new programs. You would have to go through the installers, but its alot easier than learning C and writing your own program.
