1) What command line do I put in the AUTORUN.INF to run
the powerpoint 2003 viewer and a specific presentation -
both of which are on a CD?

2) Can the viewer be run from a CD or do the end-users
first have to install it to their local harddisk?
 
1)
[autorun]
open=pptview.exe /L present.lst

Use NotePad to create a text file with just the filename of your
presentation. The file is named present.lst

2) It runs from the CD. Otherwise it won't autorun. <G>
 
Do I have to create a list? Can't I just execute the
presentation directly - which is located 2 directories in -

[autorun]
open=pptview.exe /L directory\subdirectory\present.pps

Hello,

If you are not showing a series of sequential presentations, then you do
not need to include playlist file and the autorun command to show a
presentation called "PowerPoint Viewer.ppt" would look like:

[autorun]
open=pptview.exe "PowerPoint Viewer.ppt"

Don't use the "/L" command line parameter because PowerPoint Viewer 2003
will expect the file to be a playlist file instead of a presentation file.
