Autoplay happens automatically when you insert a CD/DVD/USB, if it has an autorun.inf file (which SUU does). So, when you insert the DVD, it should ask you what you want to do with it. If it doesn't, then you will need to open the DVD from [My] Computer to browse its contents. If you browse the contents and see the actual ISO file, then you did it wrong. An ISO file cannot simply be copied to a DVD to be used; an ISO file is a CD/DVD "image" that can be mounted directly using special software (Magic Disk, etc.) or used by special software to create a CD/DVD. Windows 7 has this capability built-in (right-click ISO file, copy image to CD/DVD), or you can use a utility like CDBurnerXP or ISO Recorder. Assuming you are using the ISO correctly, the suulauncher.exe should be in the root of the DVD (D: or E: or similar - NOT C:).
Thank you very, very much. The "burn" software I was using was just creating a copy of the .iso file. I downloaded "poweriso" and it burned a copy with the .inf, etc files appearing on the DVD.

Your autorun/autoplay should take care of that, but if not, just run suulauncher.exe in the root of the drive.

Thank you, and sorry to appear like such a novice. Just to I understand;
1) I have the single 6g .iso file on a dvd, attached to my server which is running win 2008 r2.
2) How can it autoplay ? Is autoplay a default when the OS sees a .iso file?
3) suulauncher.exe is a program I should expect to find at c:\ ?
Thanks,

Cool ... a common mistake even for seasoned IT guys :)
