Im going to be writing an app for working in visual basic to help with efficiency and automation. To do this i was planning on using visual basic to be the interface for batch files and scripts. But what I would like to know is if a Windows Application thats created on your computer can be run off a CD or if it will need to be specially modified to run not on the hard disk?

I dont know how much that makes sense to you guys or not. If it doeesnt ill try to explain it better.

So, you want to optimize VB with your own application so that it is more user-friendly.

You are asking how you would go about taking that app off of your Hard Drive where it is being run off of Visual Basic, and putting it on a CD to be shared so that it can be run on other people's Visual Basic.

Let me know if I catch your drift.

apparently I cant describe my questions well today. What I was trying to ask is if the application i write on my computer on the non removable HD, if when its burned to a disc with an autorun script if it will run right or if the app needs some sort of modification to its code so it can work without running where it was created, the HD. In other words I was looking to make the app run off of a CD instead of off the hard drive.

Anyways, I believe I got the question answered by another person in my C++ class who is just stupidly good at code writing for being in entry level classes. He said that it should work running off a CD without any modifying the app.

He is correct. It will execute off any drive, hard drive, memory drive, SSD, CD/DVD, etc. The only issue is if the vb program you create attempts to write a file to the drive it is executed from. Since you can't write to the CD drive, that would cause an error.
