It sounds like you are downloading and then installing the programs on your PC, then copying the shortcuts to DVD.
Skip the installing part. When you go to the website to download and click on the download link do not select 'run,' select 'save.' This will put the installer file in your default downloads folder on your PC (Documents or Downloads or Desktop or whatever). You then need to browse to your default download folder and find the installer file(s). That's what you need to ImgBurn to DVD.604!0 -
