I tested the cd that was sent me. sorry it is windows 311 I cannot edit the title nor delete the thread and start over
it has an empty root directory., there was no autorun at that time.
three directories dos ( 6.22) mouse and windows (3,11) the dos files are not compressed as they are on the install floppies.
When you type setup it reports a problem with dosetup.ini which does not exist.
I made a hard drive bootable with a floppy, formatted it. and made a dos directory.
I copied all of d:\dos to c:\dos.
I ran memmaker to create some kind or config.sys and autoexec.bat and copied the files it asked me to copy from c:\dos to c:\.
I rebooted with added files from the floppy to give me access to the cd.
I changed to d:\mouse and ran setup all went well
I changed to d: windows typed setup and it went very quickly.
I did some searching on the www.
others have this problem. apparently an edited (fixed) dodsetup.ini is required. I unzipped my dos 622-1 disk and took a look at dossetup.ini
I think it is possible but tricky to edit it.
I know that with my burning program, IF I copy this cd.
and IF I take a edited copy of dos setup.ini
in a:\dos I can add it to the cd.
I have a bootable dos 5.22 boot floppy and another one on a cd.
I think there are methods to combimne these files.
IT MIGHT be easier for me to take the bootable floppy like cd and add a small menu
then in a second step, add the entire non bootable cd.

I KNOW this will work., I just took bootable cd's and added one file. it works.
any suggestions all I really need is an edited dossetup.ini .
I am aware of the way the dos 6.22 floppies are picky about the disk label.

what I think I will do is write a batch file, test it and make a copy of the cd bootable.
I recall that windows will install( all files in one dir) from a cd
BUT office 97 will not work that way.
the cd has to have disk1 disk 2 etc and yoiu type setupo in the disk 1 direstory and off it goes ok.
this may work,.
