I have performed a search with keyword "Autorun.inf" in the forum and have not quite found an answer to the question I am posting here today. First before I ask, I would like to commend "grumpy" for his post in reference to the Doom3 - Doom3 Expansion Menu option.
"COR Entertainment" has developed three "free" very high quality games and their titles are; "Battle for Earth" at 136mb, "Alien Arena" at 127mb and "Martian Chronicles" at 127mb. They are downloaded individually in one complete "Installshield" package. "Alien Arena" has a 58mb update that is used to correct some issues with playing online and, I think, some other performance wrinkles. I am familiar with writing an autorun.inf file to have these automatically start to install when the cd I burnt them to is inserted into the drive. Without the use of an "Install Menu", is there some way that I can write an autorun for "Alien Arena" so that the update file will automatically install after I install the main game? By looking at other autoruns I see commands such as, "shell", "run" etc. I also see that the [;] is used. All I want to do is to automatically run the update after the main game has been installed. Can this be done with a single autorun file?
If any one is interested in checking these games out...they are a free quality games, then follow the link that I posted here, but remember, they are very large files and if you don't have a fast Internet connect, then you may want to think about using a download manager. The link is: http://www.planetquake.com/cor/codered/aquire.html Check'em out!
Thank you for your time and for any responses I may receive in reference to this.
