autorun is not working
hi
i created an exe using NSIS . I created a autorun.inf file and burnt it along with the exe.
The autorun.inf format i created is

[autorun]
open=Project.exe
icon=Image\Project.ico

When i inserted the cd into the drive, the exe file didnt execute automatically, instead the windows loaded the content of the cd as a folder.
The autorun.inf file is saved in ANSI format.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium.

What mistake am i making in the autorun.inf file creation.

kindly provide me a solution.

this might not be the place to solve your problem in the first place, but your autorun.ini looks alright to me. did you turn off autorun or specify a default behaviour? i'd also recommend to test your autorun first (you could use a cd image instead) - saves you money and the environment some toxic waste.

i don't know how to access the settings for autorun, but the in registry it's in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer". "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" is the setting that enables/disables autorun, not sure about the default behaviour (-> check registry guide).
