    Wow! 300 MB for a home made program?? Are you sure everything is right?
    What kind of fiels you want to read from CD? Do you need the files to be read from CD while the program is running? Like games?

    You can try a conditional setup that asks the user for the resource files location, then write the path to registery somewhere. Then your program reads registry value and desicdes where to find the files.
