Package & Deployment - deploying to CDs

I have done all the steps in packaging my software. When i deploy to local network, it's fine. But i would like to deploy to CDs. When i choose the cd drive to deploy to, it gives me an error: drive not available. I put a Cd and it still won't let me deploy to a disk. Deploying to floppy works fine as well, but it requires me to have 6 floppies - compared to maybe a couple CDs.

Have you tried Windows XP its got built in support for allowing files copied to blank CD to then later be written to CD.  Havent tried it ffrom within deployment but should still work the same way.

Six floppies = two CD's - must be those itty bitty CD's hehe

You could try creating a deployment folder on your harddisk first and then coping it onto the CD.

Step 1
Create a Setup Installation on your hard disk.

Step 2
Copy this folder onto your CD using some CD Burning Software. Aah yes - To deploy on CD you require a CD Writer.

gajendra, is that not EXACTLY what I have already stated?

Please do not simply repeat another, already propsed answer.  It is considered to be VERY RUDE.
