Hi everyone, i'm trying to create a cd that will autorun. The cd has an ms powerpoint presentation, it's kind of a archive of a school, wih tons of hyperlinks to specific files. I want to know if i am able to make the powerpoint presentation autorun, because what i found so far applies only for .exe files. Is it possible to create an autorun.in that will make a .ppt file run automatically?

Thanks in advance :)
 
There are some ways I have accomplished this if you want a unsupervised "movie" of your presentation.

One thing I have done in the past is to make an AVI file of your presentation then use a movie creator CD using Picasa or Microsoft's movie CD creator from your AVI file. Of course the click-a-bility will be gone, but I didn't need that in my case.

Not sure if this method will work for you or not. Other than that, a custom script built into the autorun file would need to be made.
 
Yes i read somewhere that i would need to make a special script. The problem is my programming skills only go as far as PASCAL language yet, so i'm no good for this yet :indiff:. And yes i would need the click-a-bility, as i have some five topics, and then sub-topics to navigate in the presentation =\

EDIT: I have an idea, would it be possible to convert the .ppt file into an .exe ? that would certainly fix the issue right ? Could it have side effects on the presentation itself?

That's basically the end result of what I was suggesting.

Perhaps that might work for you.
