u3 rev application with mysql/apache

[Viktoras Didziulis]

 Hi Robert,
 
you do not need U3 drive for this. Some cool things can be done with
ordinary flashdrives. For MS Windows you use Autorun.inf like this:[autorun]
action=NAME_OF_YOUR_APP
open=your_app.exe
shellexecute=your_app.exe
shell\Auto=&NAME_OF_YOUR_APP
shell\Auto\command=your_app.exe
Icon=your_icon.ico
shell=Auto
label=NAME_OF_YOUR_APP
 
What you get is:
1) after insertion of the flashdrive your_icon will appear instead of the
default flashdrive icon;
2) if autoplay on users machine is enabled it will show NAME_OF_YOUR_APP
with your_icon as the first choice in autoplay menu and will allow to launch
your app from there;
3) it will launch the application on doubleclicking the flash_drive's icon
(your_icon)
4) it will provide the first option in the context menu as NAME_OF_YOUR_APP
(upon right mouse-click on flash-drive's icon)
5) it WILL NOT launch your application automatically on startup, which is
good from a security point of view...
 
For MacOS this tool can be of some use:

I think it is more than enough for a non-U3 drive. I am also bundling my
Contents Management Soft with Apache this way :-).
 
All the best
Viktoras

I am building a rev standalone that works in conjunction with a mysql 
database, so If I bundle a install I need to also check first to see if 
apache is installed if not then install it with a mysql database, so was 
thinking that maybe this new u3 drive I can preinstall everything on it so 
then all I need to send the use is a flash drive, any thoughts as to is this

will be possible to run apache/mysql/rev application all within a u3 flash 
drive?
