    Create a text document (plain text such as a notepad .txt file) and name it autorun.inf (make sure that windows has it set to show file extensions so you can change it to a .inf file not autorun.inf.txt . Then in the file you need the following, assuming the setup file is setup.exe, if not change the name i gave, then you can copy and paste this into your file (note you can NOT have a setup file name with spaces in the file name, if there are any spaces delete them and replace with underscores or change the name of the file):

    [AUTORUN]
    open=setup.exe

    Once you have that just reburn the disc with that in the root directory and it will be a normal autolaunch setup disc.
