How do I create a CD that opens a "Drag this icon to the Application folder to install" on the Mac and autoruns an installer on Windows?

Hybrid CD-ROMIn the HFS view, select the file you want to use and do a right click. In the context-sensitive menu, select Properties. In this big dialog box, check the Autostart checkbox. MacImage will do the rest.
Create an autorun with the 'open' commandThe first thing to do is fire up Notepad. Then we type '[autorun]' on the first line. On the second line we type, 'open=filename.exe' (where file name is replaced with the name of the software). We then save the file using the name, 'autorun.
There is no autorun in OSX anymore. Save this answer. Show activity on this post. You can't set an application to autorun for security reasons.
In the Control Panel, type DVD in the search box. Click on the Play CDs or other media automatically under the AutoPlay category. In the AutoPlay window, scroll down until you see the DVD category. Choose an action for all different types of the DVD media.
