Programs installed from CDs do not work in an app layer

I have a department which uses 11 programs particular to that department. They programs are all installed from CDs. On a VM that I was going to use for an app layer, I performed the pre-scan, installed the ones that were installations, and copied the contents of the CDs that just ran from the CD and placed shortcuts in the Public Desktop folder. They all worked fine on the VM where they were installed. I finished recording the app layer and assigned it to a computer to test it. I was surprised to find that the folders to which I copied the complete CDs were empty, just the folders themselves were there. It is the same for every program. I just opened up the VM where I had installed all of the programs, and they are now like that also, just empty folders after the layer capture. I really don't want to have to install these 11 CDs on each employee's laptop. Is there something that I did wrong? Thank you.
