You need an installer or you need to compress the files, You will not be able to run the datbases from a locked volume.

In Windows, any time you put a file on a CD it becomes read-only. Even when you download these files to a hard drive, they remain read-only, until and unless you open the properties and uncheck that "feature".

On a Mac, you don't have these problems.

Either way, I highly recommend using some sort of installer. (Aladdin Drop-stuff is probably the easiest.)

Could you be more specific about what 'properties' need to be reset?
