Run embedded Firbird from a CD

I have made a program in VB.NET connected to an embedded firebird database. Now I want the program to be able to run directly from a CD.
The problem is when i connect to the db running from a CD I get this error message:
"No permission for read-write access to database..."
I guess that because firebird want's to lock the database when viewing and that not possible on a CD.
So is there a way to open the db in read only mode or something so it will be possible to run directly from a cd.
Thanks!

Just restore your database as Read only using gbak before burning cd
Here is syntax for gbak:

I've tried that but I cant get gbak to work. I only get error: unavailable database

i used this syntax:
gbak -mod read_only c:\temp\db.fdb c:\db.fdb

Have you checked the file attributes for db.fdb (not read only) ?

No, you have to create backup first (if you don't have one).
And this is not correct syntax: you have specified 2 db's, it should be somethig like:
(if you have backup of your database in c:\temp)
gbak -mod read_only c:\temp\db.fbk c:\db.fdb. And don't forget to supply user name and password.
