 Hi everybody,
I've made a program that i want to distribute in cdrom with all the help,
manuals, etc in html format.
The problem i have is how to open the principal html document from a
setup.exe that executes the autorun.inf.
I can't make a call to the "html visor" because i don't know if it is the
internet explorer or the netscape, and where it is instaled.


Any solution?

Thanks in advance

Ruben

you could ShellExecute() your .html files and let windows find the
default browser for you.

	ShellExecute(hwnd,NULL,"\\doc\\start.htm",
			NULL,"\\doc",SW_SHOW);

That's not a good solution. On my computer, for example, HTML files
are "attached" to NOTEPAD.EXE. (That's because I'm writing HTML pages)
