[Starkit] Re: [Metakit] Autorun for wikit

[Chan Chi Hung]

I still cannot run the wikit directly from CDROM, which is a readonly media.

However, I had a work-around solution. I wrote a bat file so that my 
autorun.inf will launch that directly. In the bat file, I stored the 
cdrom drive path, then change directory to the local c: drive before I 
run the wikit, see below for a sample bat file

%ECHO OFF
SET CDROM=%CD%
C:
%CDROM%tclkit-win32.exe %CDROM%wikit -readonly %CDROM%wikit.tkd

In my case, the variable CDROM is "D:\".

BTW, the autorun.exe does not work for me.

I would really love to know why I cannot launch directly from CDROM 
drive. Does the starkit trying to write something to the current directory ?
