AutoView 6.0 now out! Changes are: l Upgraded to include improvements for Windows Vista. l Core Autorun and command execution code updated with all applicable updates. l Upgrades to make the software easier to use. l Completely redeveloped software set-up, allowing for even easier set-up, with more options. l Improved Viewer Installation behavior. l Upgraded Help. AutoView is an Autorun program for use on CD/ CDR. This software is designed to add convenience and professionalism to the CDs you create by having them automatically launch a selected file after CD insertion. AutoView comes with a short wizard to create the Autorun program for your CDs. Simply copy the two files the wizard creates to your CD, along with your own files, and your done. Its that simple! AutoView can be used to open any file type in the user’s designated viewer. If no recognized viewer is found for the specified document then the software can prompt the user with a list of installable viewers (from the CD). For example, when creating an Autorun CD with a HTML interface, where the CD's contents are browsed via web pages in the user's browser, AutoView can be set to Autorun the index page. In the event the user does not have a browser installed on their system, AutoView will detect this. If the CD author opted to provide a number of browser installation files on the CD, AutoView will provide the user the option to install the browser of their choice. Other cases where installable viewers may be useful are Adobe Acrobat documents (PDF), ZIP archive CDs, MS PowerPoint presentation CDs, formatted text documents, the list goes on... The title and text for the installer can be anything you wish, the title might be "Viewer Required...", the viewer name, company of the CD author etc. The installable viewers list is fully editable with any number of viewers possible. The Set-up Wizard takes you through a few simple steps to setting up the software for your CD. For CD authors who do not require an installation menu, AutoView is effectively a one-step process! The Set-up Wizard can also load up the current settings for quick and easy changing of the programs set-up. After completion of the Wizard, simply write the two files the Wizard automatically created for you (which includes the Autorun.inf file) to the base of the CD and your CD will Autorun. Step 1 of the Set-up Wizard's interface screen is shown below:
Normally there is no indication of the program, as it automatically opens the file in the associated viewer. If no viewer is present, then the software will either display the entered list of installable viewers to the user, or simply display a message and exit. The Installer window is shown below, of course you enter your own text for the title bar where it now says "Viewer Required...", and the block of instructional text can also be edited:
The screen above will only appear to the user if they do not have any viewer associated with the document type which the software has been set to open.
* This software is compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows from Windows 95, it does however require the COMCTL32.DLL system file on the original Microsoft Windows 95 be updated (original 1995 release only). We have found this file is naturally updated through the normal use of a PC, installing software, or installing Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. There are no known issues with Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista. © Pollen Software 2009. |
