Very new to KIX - any help appreciated.

I am trying to create an AutoRun CD for an application that I can send to my somewhat "challenged" users. Instead, I am the one being challenged!!!!

My CD contents are as follows:
Kix32.dll
Kix16.dll
Kix32.exe
autorun.inf - Contains open=install.bat
install.bat
install.kix
APP subdirectory (which contains setup.exe)

install.bat contains one line:
kix32 install.kix

install.kix contains two statements:
\APP\setup.exe

MESSAGEBOX("Installation Complete.","ABC Corporation",4144)

The setup.exe is not being executed. I believe I am missing an execute statement of some sort or my syntax is not correct.

Please help!

Brian

Well... without scrutinizing the whole package...
You KiX script does not have proper syntax on the first line.

\APP\setup.exe

should be
Shell "\APP\setup.exe"

And depending on how SETUP.EXE works you might want ot force the SHELL to wait with
code:
shell 'start /min /wait \APP\setup.exe'

Dear,

See Autorun CD by KiXtart (F2-2064) for another way of
opening a kixtart script during AUTORUN phase on CD.
greetings.
