Hello,
I'm creating a training presentation for distruibution. I am finding that if
the presentation runs directly off of the CD, it's slow and "gets confused."
(i.e. does not correctly follow links)

Does anyone know how to make a "packaged to CD" show automatically download
to a hardrive? I'm hoping that will fix some of the problems I have been
having...

Thanks for any help!

Well, I'd suggest, by frequent and long term experience, to package all
files with an installer or a "silent" self-extracting file...I use SFX
Maker, a freeware very easy to use, which you may download from
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Compression-tools/SFX-Maker.shtml  ; all you
must do is assemble your presentation files, zip them and then compile the
resulting .zip with this program, indicating in the Post-Extraction tab
which File to automatically run once all the files are self-extracted to the
recipient's hard drive ( yourpresentation.pps). In the compiling specs you
also would indicate the windows/messages/warnings to hide, what directory to
extract to, whether to allow file overwriting and whether you wish to
include a startup message. It is, of course, important to hide all message
windows, to assure the files install themselves silently and avoid your
recipients of getting bored, confused or fearful of constant unexpected
warnings.

Let me know how it went. Greetings,

Gus
