i have been developing a HTML site for a customer and it needs to go onto a CD. 
 
Just wondering is there some sort of way to convert all the information into an .exe file for them to open? as there are about 100 html pages and wanting them just to click on the home page when they open the cd. 
 
so thought converting it into an .exe file will be easier for them!!!  
 
SO can this be done?

You could use a continum transfunctioner, alongside a millenium quaqrupler 
 
Or, post it in the right section where there are intelligent people

how about burning the website to the cd but then use an autorun.ini file to open the index file when the cd goes into the drive? obviously they need to have autorun enabeld on that drive (very common)

Surely you should deploy it to there web server for them? Or as said just copy the entire structure to cd and burn that. Then if it simply is a standard html site its a matter of copying/pasting and ftp'ing for them. But personally I'd deploy it to make sure nothing is messed up - then smile and ask for yuor cheque!

easy job 99% of pc's and mac's have a web browser of some sort so just setup the autorun.inf on the cd to run the index.htm when the cd is put into the cd drive or just setup a .bat file 
 
or if you want to make life diffcault build a html based menuing system
