PP Slide Show

[Jean]

After packing Ppview32.exe and unpacking when I burn the
CD there are 18 files not counting the slide show and
viewer. Is it necessary to have those 18 files on the CD
in order for one to view the show that does not have
PPViewer? Sure makes for an ugly looking CD for all those
files to be showing.

Thanks!

Jean,

From what I remember, absolutely yes. If you don't have PowerPoint already
installed.

But it works.

Another way would be placing the viewer and its files + the pres within a
folder in the root directory, not individually in the root directory. In
autorun.inf, you'd call

folder/PPview32.exe folder/mypres.pps

Running Windows 98 2nd Ed, and using PPT version 2002.
The program works like a charm I just don't like
the "messy" CD with all those files showing.

Gus,

I'm not too sharp, and don't understand what you are
trying to tell me. Don't know anything about autorun.

Well...I then should infer you're opening the CD and clicking on the pres to
activate it manually.

Place all files in a folder and create a shortcut for the viewer, which
you'd place outside the folder. Of course, when the viewer is executed,
you'd need to find the presentation wherever is located.
With autoexecution, on the other hand, everything would be executed
automatically, without the need for the user having to open the CD or
visually locating the pres.

Gus
