Running OI from CD (OpenInsight Specific)

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

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.

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.

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.
