Re: help
Autorun.inf files allow the cd's you create to automatically launch an
application when the cd is inserted in the cd player. It is a plain text file
If Windows finds a file called AUTORUN.INF in the root directory of a CD then it follows the instructions in this file to run a program.
The CD users may have switched off AutoRun. This might be because they are concerned about viruses. One way of enabling autorun will be
Enabling AutoRun on your computer
To test AutoRun you need to have it enabled on your computer. A registry setting can be used to disable AutoRun. Click Start+Run then type in regedit. Select Edit+Find and type in NoDriveTypeAutoRun. This value should be found in this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer .
The NoDriveTypeAutoRun value should be hexadecimal 95 if AutoRun is enabled on all CDs, or B5 if disabled for CDs. (If you want to test AutoRun on a floppy disk, set this value to 91.) You may need to change more than one instance of NoDriveTypeAutoRun in the registry. You usually need to reboot for a new value to take effect.
In Windows 95/98/Me the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value is displayed as 95 00 00 00. In Windows NT4, 2000 and XP this value is displayed as 0x00000095 or hexadecimal 95. If you modify the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value make sure it is still in the correct format.

i got dat from google as well and i followed those instructions to no avail so asked here afterwards!
Re: help
That error doesn't make any sense. Which autorun.inf did it say it was missing? That file shouldn't have anything to do with installation, specially half way thru the install. Try getting another copy of the CD. Call Norton and see if they can help.
