FreeGameDev

Hi I'm just starting out as a game developer, I'm in highschool and
I'm doing a competition for TSA and one of the requirements is to make the game run in less than 60 seconds off a DVD
How can I do this? thanks

Well... maybe I get the question wrong... but what is the problem actually?
You don't need to install anything. Just make an executable and write the exe and dll-s,assets,etc if any to the same DVD in correct folders. Launch the exe and you're up.
You can even make an autorun.inf like all cool viruses do
If you need to store some data (like savegames or settings) just use the user's HDD, e.g. sort of "%userprofile%\documents"

What means "runs in less than 60 seconds"? I think that anything can load from a DVD in less than 60 seconds, if you provide an autorun, or even manually running the executable file.
