<QUOTE>
Is there a way to start an OI application in a read-only environment (on a CD) without having the engine choke on start-up? 



Obviously, the app will do no writing to tables, but rather just display a sequence of forms.



Thanks

<QUOTE>The problem was in the autorun.inf file of the CD.



I had the NPP and REVPARAM files configured OK, however I was pointing to a subdirectory that contained oinsight.exe in my autorun.inf file. That proved to be a NO-NO, because apparently the working directory was not valid and the whole engine would come crashing down. Putting the application in the root directory of the CD solved the problem.

<QUOTE>Dave,



Haven't tried any kind of autostart feature with a CD yet but we can run an application via a shortcut or by directly launching OINSIGHT.EXE from Explorer within a sub-directory.

<QUOTE>Right.

That's because the working directory is specified in the shortcut to be oengine's directory. Same idea excuting directly from Explorer.



But when I put the autorun in a directory other than the oengine one, the engine blows up because it cannot find any linear hash tables.
