The first should autorun at start, which is easily doen through a .ini script with it. But how do it make it so it will open up directory's and/or movies (multiple formats). The second question is how to make an installation program, preferably done through C++. Any help on this would be appreciated...

Replies sakurag Posted at 9:14 am on Sep. 24, 2004 Making an install program can be very difficult, as it requires a LOT of work up front, and can be hard to manage.  There are install programs  you can download off the internet, as well as I think Microsoft has one that is available through visual studio.  Other than that, there is InstallShield, among others.  They cost money though.  Writing one yourself is a different story. If you'd like to do this, take a look into the win32 API as well as a compression format or packaging format you'd like to use to package your files up.
