Create a web page of sorts on a DVD

trickyrick · 08-26-2007, 09:03 PM

Hi guys
I hope Im in the right forum. I have never created a web page and I dont really want to now. I have several freeware programs that I have collected over the years and would like to burn them onto a DVD. All of the programs have an .exe to install them. I would like to create an auto run and point it to some kind of html web page on the DVD where it would list all the programs then I would just click on the one that I wanted to install. Is this possible
Thanks
Rick

I have dreamweaver and have a couple of questions
I have created a folder with all my programs and I have created a web page in dreamweaver and created a link to each of the programs. When I click on the link I get a window that asks if I want to save the program rather than run or install it. How do I get it to install. I have saved this web page into the same folder when I burn this folder to a cd the links to the programs will change how do I fix this
Thanks
Rick

use relative links. for instance if all the files are within the same directory (to include you html file) then a relative link would be just the filename+file extension of the file you are linking to.
