I would like to put the CD/DVD in the CD/DVD Rom Drive and have the wpi.hta file open automatically. I've added the "autorun.ini" file, but that just opens the CD, it does not execute the wpi.hta file

Will you please post your "autorun.ini"?

Yeah, autorun won't work with an .hta file. You're going to need a tool like Tarma Software's AutoRun.exe to make it happen. My AUTORUN.INF file looks like this:
[autorun]
open=autorun.exe -q2 -x -w wpi\WPI.hta
icon=wpi.ico

[autorun.tarma]
run1=AutoIt3.exe finish.au3
run2=AutoIt3.exe eject.au3

Posted some comments on Tarma's tool (including a like to the Tarma site but you could as easily Google it) in the WPI forum awhile back, you may want to search there.

No wonder mine didn't work. All I had is:

[AutoRun]
ShellExecute=wpi.hta
ICON=WPI.ICO

I'll give your tip a go. Thanks!

[AutoRun]
ShellExecute=WPI2\wpi.hta
ICON=xp.ICO


Mine points to a 2nd WPI.hta , and works fine like this.

Have you tried making a BAT/CMD that STARTS the hta and point AUTORUN to it? This is the way the UBCD98SE did it (no more info on that can be found here any more).

WPI v8 now no longer uses a hta file...

It now uses a normal .exe file.
