    1. You can’t run a web application from a CD. You probably want to use a Windows application.
    2. You seem to be assuming a database, so I’d guess your storage mechanism is to use a database. Look at the data you need to store and how you need to use it, and make a decision based on that.
    3. You can’t write to a CD. You need to either write to a known location (say, the AppData folder) or ask the user to specify one in your application.

    Also worth noting: you can’t auto-run an application any more (since Windows 7, and I believe back-ported to Vista). The best you can do is have the auto-run dialogue include an option to run your application.
