I missed the original post, but I have created a front end for a  CD 
using DemoShield. 

The CD is our "Resource CD", which includes software we offer for 
free, our product literature, and manuals. I use DemoShield to 
launch the installations of the software directly, and for the literature 
and manuals (in PDF format), I launch a PDF. That PDF has links to 
the others. (Actually, there are several "first level" PDFs -- one for 
literature, one for manuals, one for technical notes, one for ap 
notes... that are essentially TOCs to the other documents).

This works well for our uses. 

DemoShield offers an evaluation version on their web site.
