.Net vs VB6 on autorun.inf

Wondering if anyone here has come up with a different solution than I keep
coming back to:


Here is a thought and I just can't seem to come up with another solution
other than to install my old VB6 cds'.

I want to create a nice splashy screen that will run from ( Autorun.inf ) on
a CD when a cd is installed.

Creating the splash screen in vb6 - is no problems.

Creating it in .net 2008 causes me headaches as to why would someone want to
install the .net framework to see a nice application main screen running.
( If they don't have it installed ).

It takes away a bit from the easy portability ( at this time ) while there
could be / and are some computers out there without the framework installed.

Thanks,

Miro

Re: .Net vs VB6 on autorun.inf


Just use one of the several freeware or shareware programs
made for just such a task.

Google search:

No need for VB6 or .Net runtimes to be present. Not even a web
browser. If you did decide to go the HTML route, how can you be
sure that the user's default browser is going to support your startup
screen forever and ever?
