I looked the game up and found that like most others, it must be installed. You can install it to a CD-RW or DVD+/-RW instead of the traditional C:\Program Files, but it still requires use of the registry and misc. files on the computer's hard drive. Thus, your only option is to install the game on each computer, though most of the files could go onto the CD/DVD. Since there are restrictions on installations, you'll have to confine your gameplay to places that you are allowed to engage in such activities, such as your personal computers.
Sorry.

Hi, I am wondering if it's possible to put a game on a writable CD or DVD and play it on different machines, without having to install anything on the computers. The CDs or DVDs will be explicity for personal use..one for me and one for a friend. Besides, the game is free.
The game is a massive multiplayer kind-of RPG game with almost no violence, and that what exists is appropriate for 5 year olds. Anyways, for reference, the game is called MapleStory-mapleglobal.com is the english site.
The only thing I'm not sure about is if the game can/will execute properly from an optical disk, and only an optical disk. Some of the computers we like to play on are user-restricted - like in the public library. (we only play after we finish our homework!) I'm just wondering if the game needs to do anything with the registry, which I assume can't be done on install-locked library comps, and if possible, can I do something to have all the necessary files on optical disk and set the game to read from the disk?
thanks!
