almost right.

instead of saving as autorun.ini, you save it as autorun.inf

Alright I have been trying to hard I think.. I try to make autorun copies of downloaded programs Like webroot's firewall which is only downloadable. So this is what I put in the folder to burn

[autorun]
open=setup.exe


didnt put the icon='s in there since there is no extra icon. anyway here is the error I am getting? Cant figure it out.
