Embed Software License Agreement in .ISO disk

knippel · 05-03-2009, 02:07 PM

Hey there -
Wondering if there is any way to embed a Software License Agreement in an .ISO disk, so that a document presents itself when the disk is mounted, whether on a PC or a Mac...the disk won't actually carry software, but photos instead, and the SLA will actually be a Usage Rights document, but I'm basically looking for a Mac-like solution to a cross-platform problem...any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

You can create a hybrid image that contains a package installer for the Mac side and a windows solution on the other. You'd have to get a Windows installer like InstallShield to handle that side of it.

You won't find anything reliable that just pops up a note when the disc is inserted, that depends on the autorun functions and can be turned off easily.

You also realize that no one reads these things, yes? It's just another annoyance to be dismissed.
