Help! My InstallShield Wizard seems to have disappeared! How can I get it back? ?

I'm running Windows XP; when I'd put a new program CD into the D: drive before, InstallShield Wizard would automatically start setting up the new program. Recently, I tried installing some new games for my kids, and NOTHING HAPPENS. I uninstalled a game we were using last week and tried to reinstall it, and again nothing. It just sits in the D: drive.

Update:

There is no AutoRun tab in my CD-RW (D drive) Properties menu. When I try d:setup.exe, I get an error message saying there is no path.

    Autorun is probably disabled on your system - it's what knows to automatically run the installation on your CD.

    In the short term just go to the D: drive and look for a program called setup.exe or something like that.

    To enable autorun again:

    1) Open Windows Explorer.

    2) Right-click your CD-ROM and select Properties from the menu.

    3) Select the AutoPlay tab.

    4) Select each item from the pulldown list and for the Action to perform, select "Take no action" to disable autorun, or pick the apporpriate action to take if enabling autorun.

    5) Select OK.

    Hope this helps
