Ease of use sets AutoRun Architect apart. The program will make any user feel comfortable with its interface. When launching the application, you choose between two wizards: Quickie AutoRun for beginners and AutoRun for experienced users. You also can go straight to the program's interface to put together the autorun elements yourself. Each wizard consists of three simple steps that help you assemble all your files. The creation is so simple that even inexperienced users can make an autorunning CD in moments by specifying the name of the project, the source of the CD or DVD image, and the file to launch in the autorun process. You can access the wizards at any time through the menu bar. The output of the trial version will run only on the computer on which AutoRun Architect is installed, but you can test your files with a convenient button. Programmers looking to quickly create an autorun CD to distribute their work will benefit the most from AutoRun Architect.

Absolutely Brilliant CD Maker!
johnsondavDecember 14, 2009
Pros
Very easy to follow menus and does what you want without ALL of the Fuss.
Cons
You do need to spend a little time navigating the file structure to get the best working options available.
Summary
I'm a teacher and I wanted something I can use to create working tutorial CD's quickly without ALL of the complicated options you get with other Multimedia CD creation software. This one is straightforward and simple to use - and it WORKS!
Simple. Gets the job done quickly. Very customizable!

Pros
Easy interface, decent "Wizard" options, but you can customize everything else after that is complete.
Cons
May be difficult for people who aren't familiar with creating menus in a program like this.
Summary
I'm a photographer and needed to give my clients a disc with images and a video file. Many clients expect a menu of some sort and some can't figure out how to get to the files without calling. This enables me to show my work in a more professional manner as well as ensure that they view / accept the copyright agreement before accessing the disc. I've only used it to create my first disc so far but I was able to do that quickly and easily. The commercial license price was on sale so I bought it right away! I'm still looking for a solution that will let me do this as well as make the disc playable in a DVD player, but we can get to that later.
Do not download or pay

None to recommend
Cons
No activation link sent after payment. Without activation link the application is useless for CD creation & distribution.

Not as good as it should be.

Pros
Price and ease of use. I was able to start using the product very quickly.
Cons
It did not always launch the designated file and sometimes tech support took days to get back with me and there is no way to contact by phone.
Summary
I had a lot of problems with my launch document. This product would not always launch a Word document and that is a real problem. It would launch it in test, then after I burned the project to disc, it would not. Sometimes if I could get it to launch after burring, it would not 100% of the time. Sometimes it would only launch on my desktop running XP/Word 2003 even though the file was saved as a 2000/2003 Word doc. I created the project and burned it on a computer running Vista/Word 2007 so I believe that there is some issue with the OS and/or the version of Word that it is either created in or burned in. I needed a product that would burn and launch every time so this software was a big letdown for me.
its great

I bought the software and I istalled it. <p>Everything was OK, but because after few months my computer crashed. I have to take to the repair shop and they made a clean installation. So back at home when I tried to reinstall AutoRun Architect it told me <p>that I need to buy another license. So this <p>stupid software want you to buy a new license every time you have the PAIN of reistall Windows!
Summary
A great product at a low cost

Pros
I have been using AutoRun Architect for a while now and have been very satisfied. It works without a hitch and is very easy to use. <p> <p>I read some of the other user reviews complaining about the service and cannot understand what they are talking about. I have been in contact with them a couple of times and always received an answer within 24 hours. <p> <p>Highly recommended!!

Summary
A simple, effective solution for creating autorun files for CDs
mplpdsDecember 15, 2005
Pros
It was a good job I never read the negative reviews here before I paid for the software. Easy to use and works without error. One word of advice: locate the source folder at C:\ rather than deep under "My Documents", that way the settings folder will not show any details about the location of the original source files. I've now tested this, burnt a CD with the paid-for version, and all works. I tested a few other products out before buying. For me this was the autorun software of choice.
Cons
One area that could be improved is being able to customize the properties of the "Autorun.exe" as this shows the company name in Windows Explorer. I understand however this customization will be available in a future version.
Summary
Wouldnt waste your money
leafsomenMay 6, 2005
Pros
I have nothing good to say about this program or company.
Cons
company is paranoid, company wont reply to emails, I paid and they didnt send me my activation code, wouldnt recomend it to anyone, I m very disapointed, they might as well call it "auto-rip you off"
Summary
you may use cd done with shareware only in your own computer

Pros
Easy to create an auto run cd.
Cons
If you will not buy the program do never download it; what do you need an auto run cd if it only works on your own pc?
