Use Macromedia Flash, export to .exe and use an AutoRun file for it to boot up automatically on PCs.

if you're going to do it in Flash, it's really not hard. make sure you have Full Screen fscommands going on, and that Autorun shit. if you're trying to make an autorun PPT CD, you ARE doomed.

lucky bastard.

Ok, you're not doomed, necessarily. Give them some realistic expectations based on the deadline and who you have to help you (hopefully). Then get a schedule and make sure you get everthing you need as soon as possible. how many screens? Video, Content, etc. Make a list of everything you need and get someone to project manage it.

Tip 1) Allow 1 and a half weeks for error testing.

Tip 2) Allow another 2 weeks to get the content from your sources.

2 weeks is certainly possible, just so long as you get content in an ornganised fashion and they dont dick about with it which to be fair is unlikely so make sure they aware that what they change effects deadlines.
flash indeed.
