I have been looking at an early freeware version of 'autorun pro' to
make antoplay CDs. I find it works fine in XP and W7, but does not
work in W8. Anyone know of an alternative freeware program?

Do you have a link to this freeware version of Autorun Pro ?

Is W8 set up to autoplay an optical disk?

No - I don't believe so. I downloaded it years ago and saved it's zip
file.

You could always just add a line into what you are burning that takes
you to the exe file.

Is W8 set up to autoplay an optical disk?

Yes, it does on my machine, but I'm using a USB ODD (blueray/dvd/cd)

I was asking the OP. If he has disabled his W8 autoplay, it could
explain his problem. Your autoplay has no bearing on the issue.

We are shooting in the dark, however, since he gives no hint as to what
the exact problem is and how he got there.

E.g. Did he fail to install autorun pro on W8? Is the program installed
on W8, but produces autoplay disks that don't autoplay anywhere? Are the
autoplay disks he made on his XP or W7 unable to autoplay on W8? Are
there other problems I haven't thought of yet?

My take is that he has a programme which makes an auto boot CD, but this
programme will not run on W8 OS.

It would seem that its nothing to do with his setup of W8.

So why go on with all the crap?

Well can you upload the zip somewhere so I can download it and see
if it works on my Windows 8.

Because you might be wrong, difficult as it might be to believe that.

Some people take themselves so seriously and cannot abide levity when
it's applied to their precious thoughts.
Plonking people publicly is pretty vulgar.

think this was such an occasion :-)

That immortal bard, are you referring to Bard Simpson?
