Read the story of this idea here:
http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=18845&hl=
http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=21123&hl=
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/?showtopic=628

Basically the idea is to create a self-extracting, self-burning .exe in order to be able, for example to send to a (more or less "technically impaired") friend or relative a CD and make sure he/she will be able to have it burned properly.

The existing batches, cda2sfx, iso2sfx and, more recently CASBAH, were part of the solution, i.e. it made easy for you (presumably NOT technically impaired) to send to a technically impaired friend a selfburning app, but what if one of your technically impaired friends needed to send to another technically impaired friend a CD? w00t.gif

Actually nothing really difficult, but some people tend to associate the black background of Command Prompt to black magic happy22.gif, so:

damian666 worship.gif over at MSFN was so kind to create a full GUI self-contained app, that should help the latter.

SELFBURNER.EXE embeds IMAGEBURN 2.4.0, with many, many thanks to it's Author, lightning_uk
http://www.imgburn.com/
(though the IMGBURN.EXE app is completely FREEWARE a small donation is suggested, and truly worth it)


The program works with both .iso's and Audio CD's (using .cue files).

Please find attached Release 1.1 of it.
(don't be fooled by the release number scared9.gif, 1.0 was ALPHA and 1.1 is BETA, please report any problems with it)

Maybe one of our more "graphical" and "tutorial" inclined members, like ispy may want to produce a small tutorial for it .... unsure.gif

Enjoy! smile.gif

UPDATE 18th April 2008:

A prompt has been added to ask for confirmation before starting the self-extracting archive.
(just in case someone double clicks on it accidentally)

Released version is now 1.4.0, and includes latest programs:

QUOTE
CD Selfburner Version 1.4.0.0
7Zip Version 4.57.0.0

ImgBurn Version 2.4.1.0



Please find it here:

Thanks Jaclaz, been using ISO2SFX since it's first iteration many moons ago. This is superb for not only the situations you state but also for dramatically reducing the size of the ISO AND making it a cinch to use without ANY outside software.

Many, many thanks to everyone involved!

Yeah, I know.

It introduced a number of fixes, and an enormous number of new features, almost, but not quite, completely unlike needed for the use that is made of it by this app. wink.gif

The idea about BETA testing is to NOT introduce new versions of programs, unless there is a need for them.

Latest does not always mean best.

Actually Captain Dan (with my full agreement) actually asked on the IMGBURN forum whether it would be possible to have a "reduced feature" version:

The fixes is really what lay behind my post. As you say, we can take or leave new features.

Yep, my concern, given the amount of new things in this release, is that something may work differently.

Once current version 1.2 with imgburn 2.4.0 will be reported to be working properly, (or to give only the problems actually fixed by 2.4.1) nothing prevents from updating the wrapper and re-test it.

cheers.gif

hi guys, so tell me, want me to update or not?
And about that reduced functions version, that would be great...
also a smaller one would be cool, and anyone has ideas for the options dialog?...
What about shell integration? some more imageburn options?

let me know guys...
