On the good computer:
Make a batch file "0.bat" so it is the only item starting with the character '0' in the directory.

If you have speakers, you can throw in audio feedback with a line of:
start wmplayer "c:\windows\media\tada.wav"

Blindly:
1. Open up the run window: Windows Key + R
2. Open up explorer to your CD drive: type "D:" (CD drive letter), press Enter
3. Run the batch file: type "0", press Enter

Don't pretty much all versions of windows require interaction for autorun now? [nt] - pudds, 05-10-2012 18:22 (Views: 25)

That's true. - Bean, 05-10-2012 18:24 (Views: 34)

Since it will probably require intervention anyway, I'd just skip the autorun. - pudds, 05-10-2012 18:51 (Views: 35)

Telling ya, Remote network install if you have the access is the way to go. [nt] - Ordeith, 05-10-2012 19:57 (Views: 28)

It's his home laptop. I doubt he has that option. I know I definitely don't. [nt] - pudds, 05-10-2012 20:32 (Views: 34)

Depends on how trusted the network is by his firewall. - Ordeith, 05-10-2012 20:56 (Views: 31)

The autorun jazz needs to be run from his desktop unless I'm reading something wrong. [nt] - Paul, 05-10-2012 20:39 (Views: 30)

Sorry, misread the original post. Still, who enables remote admin on a home machine? - pudds, 05-10-2012 21:32 (Views: 31)

I put logmein on all of mine and my mom's. - Bean, 05-10-2012 22:25 (Views: 30)

http://join.me [nt] - Ordeith, 05-10-2012 22:28 (Views: 30)

That looks like screen sharing. - Bean, 05-10-2012 22:45 (Views: 37)

But it sure helps when you need to help your mom. [nt] - Ordeith, 05-10-2012 23:26 (Views: 27)

1. Does the account you use have local admin access (even if through UAC) 2. - Ordeith, 05-10-2012 22:00 (Views: 26)

Don`t forget the firewall settings. That might muck things up. [nt] - Phred, 05-10-2012 16:56 (Views: 28)

Can you access it over the network at an administrative level? - Ordeith, 05-10-2012 16:33 (Views: 33)

Yes. - Bean, 05-10-2012 16:10 (Views: 29)

The .exe, could that be the MSI package with all of the switches set? - Sydwyndir, 05-10-2012 16:27 (Views: 28)

That's how I would do it. [nt] - Bean, 05-10-2012 16:47 (Views: 31)

Yup, should work.[nt] - Paul, 05-10-2012 16:28 (Views: 23)

In fact, your autorun could invoke a batch... - Paul, 05-10-2012 16:30 (Views: 33)
