using nsis to make a flash cd-rom installer
hi,

i know how to put a flash projector file on a cd and have it load automatically and run the app of off the cdrom.

but can i use nsis to have the cd rom auto prompt the user to install my flash application on their local machine so that they can run my application from their machine locally instead of from the cdrom?

thanks

You can have NSIS autorun from the CD just as you get Flash to autorun from the CD, using autorun.inf.

okay. but how would i go about having the autorun.inf file automatically prompt the user to download the contents of the cd to a location on their hd and have an icon appear on their desktop that will launch the application when they double click it?

thanks

autorun.inf can not ask anything. Inside it you just can specify for OS, which application to launch from CD. This application can interact with user and do anithing you want.
To make such application you must to read NSIS User Manual and supplied examples.
