I’m trying to get a button (in projector) to run an application that is several directories deep. I can’t use the full path because it’s going to be burned onto a CD so the path will be changing depending on whose computer it’s on. I was able to do this once before by using “file://CD/Applications/something.exe” or something like that as the path but I can’t remember exactly what I did. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, thanks for the reply but it didn’t work. I have no clue how I did this but if anyone could figure it out I would appreciate it. I’ve been working on some other things but so far I’ve been unsuccessful. Anyway, thanks for the help.
