A side note but you might look at the Eclipse-based Reload application
for SCORM packaging. Takes a lot of the pain out of a cumbersome process.

I'll definitely look into that, if not for this project,
it'll come in very handy for later ones. So far I heard of
SCORM, but never looked into it really in depth. Isn't it for
web based learning only?
No, it's a method for packaging course data which is used by most (not quite
all) virtual learning environments / learning platforms, including the
web-based ones (eg Moodle, MS Class server) and the ones designed for use
within a school network (Kaleidos). Our content is distributed mostly on
CD-ROM too, but it's designed to be loaded easily onto a network, and we've
packaged it up as learning objects and courses using SCORM (a painful
process, I may say - SCORM is a hideous beast of a specification). Having
said that, the stuff we deliver is Shockwave, so it does work through web
pages. I'm not sure how well these things handle exes - I suspect you might
find it doesn't work so well. Still, like I say it's worth looking into: at
least in this country, most educational institutions are getting learning
platforms (indeed, secondary schools are required to get one within the next
year), so they're all looking for content.
