This is version 1.0, for UPUSB 47 version 1.2 click here
Since the release of Windows 7, Microsoft doesn't support the AutoRun functionality for non-optical removable media. In other words, AutoRun will still work for CD/DVDs but it will no longer work for USB drives.
APUSB 47 is a small utility that runs minimized in the system tray and brings back the AutoRun functionality for USB drives to your Windows 7 computer.

No changes are needed to the USB drive, just using the standard autorun.inf as before.
Note:
This utility is for Windows 7, if you are using Windows XP or lower there is no need for this utility.

No matter what I try, it always shows the error: "Autorun.inf on you USB drive points to invalid file!" I copied the EXE to the USB - didn't work. I tried hard coding the full path to the installed EXE - didn't work. Even tried double quotes - didn't work. Tried eliminating the "-R" (see below) in all situations - didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteHere's what my autorun.inf is:
[autorun]
open=synctoy.exe -R
Due to the fact APUSB47 is installed on tens of thousands of computers, I can guess the problem is in your specific computer.
ReplyDeleteDid you try a simple check first, try to execute calc.exe or notepad.exe, does it work ?
Did you try it on a different computer ?
I can't get open= to work with more than one argument. For example, open=ShelExec.exe interface\index.html didn't work with a usb stick, but it did work on a dvd-rom image. USB works fine with one argument though, for example, open=ShelExec.exe

Hi,
ReplyDeleteIn this version, it can accept only one argument.
I will add this option with the next version.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteis there any way to get rid of the confirmation dialogue on exit? It always keeps my System from going down and annoys me a little bit.
I would be really grateful for any tips or advices.
Not on this version, I will upload an update in a few days.
ReplyDeleteI'm having same problem with open command, but i don't have any arguments..
ReplyDeletemy inf:
[autorun]
open=mount.bat
win7 with registry and local user policy changes.
Are you sure APUSB47 is running ?
ReplyDeleteDoes the batch file exists on the root of the USB drive ?
Did you try to execute other executable instead of this batch file ?
Did you try it on a different computer with no policy ?
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteA new version is on the way.
Changes:
1. Add an option to remove the message before exit.
2. Add support for using arguments in the autorun.inf
3. Some minor improvements.
I need some more testing to verify the arguments issue.
Any volunteers ?

hmmm...I also have a use case for arguments to the executable, however I have a similar issue...except even using calc.exe as in the below is not working (same error message).
ReplyDeleteopen=calc.exe
Hi,
ReplyDeleteVersion 1.1 support the using of arguments, you can find it in this blog.
APUSB 47 executes only files from your USB drive.
If you insist on executing a file from a local drive, then you need to run it from a batch or script on the USB drive.
A new version will be released soon.
Z.
Executing programs from local drives will be in the next version, it will be released in a few days.
ReplyDeleteVersion 1.2 is available now on this blog.
ReplyDeleteIt can now execute program from local drives and more.
