Autorun CD slideshow.txt "can't read file header"

[itm]

I've followed the instructions here for creating a CD autorun slideshow using Irfanview:

When I insert the CD (on Windows 7) and select the option to run i_view32.exe I get: "slideshow=slideshow.txt : can't read file header! Unknown file format, empty file or file not found"

The root directory of my CD contains:
- i_view32.exe
- a folder named "images", containing 350 jpg files
- an autorun.inf file, content as below
- a slideshow.txt file containing one line per image - e.g. .\images\image1.jpg

The autorun.inf file looks like this:
[AutoRun]
open = i_view32.exe slideshow=slideshow.txt

Any ideas?

i_options.text says that the syntax is:

/slideshow=txtfile - play slideshow with the files from "txtfile"

You have omitted the forward slash, so I think what you need is

open = i_view32.exe /slideshow=slideshow.txt
