cd-r's to transfer files question

I appreciate your patience for what I'm sure will be a simple question for most of you, but I am new at this. I have a cd-rw and want to burn a cd in order to transfer a program to another computer. When I did it, I can run the program from the burned cd in the new computer, but what I really want to do is install the program on the new computer and not have to keep using the burned cd.

Example: downloaded 3dmark2000 to one computer, but would like to not have to take the time to download it to my second computer.

Could someone please help me and tell me how to do this? Thanks a lot.
 
Burn the *.exe or *.zip file to CD then copy the file to the HDD on the other computer and run the installation program to install it. You can not just copy the program files from one computer to another because you will be missing the System.ini and Registry entries.
 
I don't know if that is a program or a program disk.
If a program disk, run setup from your CD and install on the other computer.
If just a self-contained program, copy it to the other computer and then run it from the place to which it was copied.

Hope you have success!

Thanks a lot, guys. I thought maybe I would have to download the install fine and copy that on the cd-r, then run install off that. Just wondered if there was another way to load it on the other computer. Guess not.
