We discourage installing Gears from anywhere other than
gears.google.combecause the ability to provide a secure and consistent
user experience is
based on giving regular software updates.  Is your customer aware that after
installing Gears for the first time, and syncing with a website, that the
website will be able to run offline w/o needing a CD?
To run a Gears application from a CD, however, is going to be tricky.  The
only way to do that would be to have a copy of the user files from
Firefox/IE/Safari on the CD and then to copy them to the correct location on
the PC.  It generally makes the most sense to connect to the internet and
synchronize the application.

Hope this helps,
Ben
