I can think of only one obvious reason why a program would not run from a CD, and that is if it attempts to write a file to the same directory as the program was loaded from. Clearly that can't work if the program was run from a 'read only' medium.

Writing a program in such a way that it will run on somebody else's PC requires special care. There are several issues that you need to consider, for example you must ensure that your program is not dependent on the initial window size, the display resolution, the colour depth, the DPI (Dots Per Inch) value etc. - all of which may vary between one PC and another.

Even if you have only one PC on which you can test your program, you can still experiment with changing the display resolution, the DPI value and the Windows theme (all usually set in Display Properties) to ensure that it is not unduly dependent on any of those.
