CD2DVD problem

So im trying to put three games onto 1 dvd
SWAT 4, Playboy: the mansion, and Empire Earth 2

I follow the steps in each game's thread to make them into 1 folder and then put all three folders into another folder which i called GameDVD.
I then use orca to change the SWAT 4 volume label since its a msi file. I then try to make my own autorun menu w/ Autoplay Media Studio 5 which is where im having problems. When i try to make one of the buttons link to a setup.exe of one of the games, it doesnt seem to work when i test it. I tried to follow the steps on the thread on putting multiple games onto 1 dvd but that didnt work. Can anyone help me out??

Firstly, I havent actually used Autoplay Media Studio 5 as yet but there are a few things I can suggest.
Which games 'Setup.exe' is not working? Is it the Swat 4 exe?
Playboy and Empire Earth 2 should be ok in folders and it should not really matter what these folders are called. So these 2 games should not be a problem.
With Swat 4 there are 2 things you can try.
1. Put Swat 4 on the Root of the DVD. And label the DVD whatever name you have changed the 'VolumeLabels' to in the 'msi' file. The label for the DVD must be the same as the MSI.
2. Put Swat 4 in a folder but the name of the folder must be the same as what you named the 'VolumeLabels' to in the MSI file.
Personally I would go with number choice 1.
So follow the conversion for Swat 4 then just put the other 2 games in folders.

AutoPlay Media Studio 5:
When you add the command "File.Run" to a button, you will get this path to the file: "AutoPlay\\Docs\\MyProg.exe" .
You have to change this and keep in mind to use this double-backslashs.
Example:
On you DVD, Empire Earth 2 is in the folder "EE2", Playboy Mansion is in Folder "PLAYBOY" and SWAT4 is in folder "SWAT4", each with it's own Setup.exe . So you have to change the path:
Empire Earth 2: "EE2\\Setup.exe"
Playboy Mansion: "Playboy\\Setup.exe"
Swat 4: "Swat4\\Setup.exe"

Hope this helps you!
