Hi’ya,

Little misunderstanding on my part… I have giving the impression that I’m doing a downloading webpage for a server, this is not so, I’m not that advanced yet, I’m still only learning HTML.

Heres What I’m Doing… As I said in the above, giving myself task too do to learn HTML and C++, right now I’m doing personalized CD backups as a way to learn these programming languages. As I said before, I’ve zipped-up my software into self-extracting exys, and made a HTML Autorun browser for the CD, with the necessary information and graphics.

As I said in the above… I would like to know how to launch an executable file within HTML from a CD, to unpack the exy file to my hardisk (if this is possible).

In Ending… Before I signoff, please don’t think that I know anything about programming, because I’ve made a personalized Autorun exy for my CD. I used a little utility that only makes Autoruns for CDs, (I’m still learning my way around Borland C++ Builder 3) still learning C++ basics, forget doing any programming, as yet. Yes I know, Builder 3 is an old App, but is mine… and its still DOS based, as well as GUI and most C++ tutorials on the net seem too be DOS based.

PS… If anyone reading this, also knows a good step-by-step generic tutorial for C++ Builder (with graphics, if possible) that will teach you how to make an Autorun and assign an icon of your choice, to that Autorun file. This will help me get too know my way around C++ Builder, as well as give me a basic understanding in C++ programming, I would be most grateful.
