Re: Copying Files

Hello and welcome to our forums,

In order to achieve what you want, you can create a new project, add your files in the "Files and Folders" page --> under "Application Folder" and then follow this tutorial which will get you started with the "CD/DVD Autorun":

https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... torun.html

If you want your setup to not be registered with Windows Installer (to appear in the Control Panel), all you have to do is to uncheck the "Register product with WIndows Installer" option from under the "Add or Remove Programs (Control Panel)" --> "Product Details" page.

Also, please keep in mind that the "CD/DVD Autorun" feature is available starting with an Enterprise license type or above, so please make sure that you are creating an "Enterprise" project from the "Start Page"

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Catalin
