Hi, Jerry!

Let me try to develop a step by step workflow for AutoRun Enterprise. I hope it will work.

Open AutoRun Pro Enterprise. It invites you to create a new project folder. Create one, in a folder you have created for. (to have things separated only).

A New Project window opens, where you can choose/check what you want to have included. Splash Screen, Screen Background, etc. In this case having only a main window will be enough. For this one you can uncheck everything, because main window opens by default. Click OK

Whats new window opens. Not important, click OK

There you should have the main page window.

Give it the size you want/need to have your tour in it. Setting here the same size as the settings of your tour in TW will not be so easy. You have to try to see what size serves. 800*600 in TW and setting 800*600 in AutoRun will give you a smaller window and with scrollbars. You have to find out which will be the best size. Not so difficult.

Next step. In the toolbar where those little stamps are, choose Add Explorer. Click on the main page. That will open a new window where you can insert your tour. At the right side of the screen, give that window a size. Choose under Explorer Type File. Click File name below and a browser tab shows up. Now something you could have done before or should do now, go to your folder where your TW tour is saved. Copy all the files and paste them in the folder you have created at the beginning of this project. To make things easier in case you have different things to load, create inside of that main folder one called tour. There paste the files from TW you have copied before. Now back to AutoRun. Under File name browse the files you have just copied in the Tour folder I suggested you to create. There, as an experienced TW user you know that you have to choose the html file that opens the Tour: Tourweaver_tourname.html

Once done use the Preview Page icon to see how it works. You can change the settings, size of the window, etc. Once you are satisfied, go to Project at the top of the program window and choose Save and Publish. There you can give a name an icon to your project etc, but the most important is to choose Create a Single Executable File. Save As window opens, give it a name and choose where to save it. It has not to be in the same folder you have created before. Once created you are done. You have just created a single file with all what you have loaded in the project in it.

I hope it is helpful.

Anything you should need, please let me know.

Good luck, Martin

Thanks Vince and Martin.
Not sure but I think I have it.
Martin, I did most everything you said except (did it before I saw your post), I did not create a Single Executable File, I changed the Tourweaver Shellexecute file as I stated in my original post. It seems to work that way. Not sure yet but I think my main problem is that I was trying to burn folders instead of files. I am trying to burn the tour to the small business card style CD's. I will put these in a tri-fold I have printed for prospective new customers. Can also use them in my real estate business for getting new listings.
I will let you know my results when I try to burn another project.
At least this will help others that are struggling as I have.

Thanks so much. That's what I like about this forum.

Hey I use Longtions ARPE

Anytime

I keep the same basic folder structure for all my tours. So lets say I have a new project called 'Jerry's Tour'.

I make a folder on my desktop called 'Jerry's Tour'

In this i will make a folder called 'tour files' and all my published tourweaver files go in here.  When I make the Autorun Project I use the desktop folder 'Jerrys Tour' and, following the instructions written so well above, add the explorer file - point it a the tourweaver_tour.html file and off you go. You HAVE to remember that when you copy all of these to the disk (supposing you aren't creating an exe file) then dont copy the 'Jerrys Tour' folder to your disk - copy the CONTENTS or it won't autorun.

Want an example? I have a small 'postcard one' i made for my website which I can give you.

Incidentally, I make another folder in my 'Jerrys Tour' one called 'system files' and i put in the adobe flash download and link it up to a button on a page. If you get permission to do this, and thats easy, then it saves people having to download the driver.

One thing I have noticed - big tours can be jerky on autorun pages...

If anyone can let me know if this works I'd appreciate it! This is a simple autorun file with a tourweaver html file.
