I don't know whether this is obvious enough but have you 
set the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables to point to 
the appropriate paths on the CD drive?  I can't speak for 
Borland, but I have C Set++ 2.1 and Watcom C/C++ 10.0a 
running of the CD here.  I achieve this by:

1)  Set the LIBPATH in config.sys assuming that the 
    required CD is in     the drive.

    LIBPATH = .;E:\OS2\DLL;...;H:\WATCOM\BINP\DLL;
    H:\WATCOM\SOM\LIB;H:\IBMCPP\DLL;

2)  Having a command file to set the appropriate 
    environment variables for each compiler.  My 
    csetenv.cmd file follows.
   
        {at}ECHO OFF
        SET PATH = %PATH%H:\IBMCPP\BIN; 
        SET DPATH = %DPATH%H:\IBMCPP\LOCALE;H:\IBMCPP\HELP;
                    H:\IBMCPP\SYS;
        SET HELP = %HELP%H:\IBMCPP\HELP;
        SET BOOKSHELF = %BOOKSHELF%H:\IBMCPP\HELP;
        SET LIB = H:\IBMCPP\LIB;
        SET INCLUDE = H:\IBMCPP\INCLUDE;H:\IBMCPP\IBMCLASS;
        SET HELPNDX = DDE4LRM.NDX+DDE4SCL.NDX+DDE4UIL.NDX+DDE4CCL.NDX
                      +DDE4CLIB.NDX

3)  I have an icon set up for each compiler which gives me 
    a command line with the relevant parameters set.  I do 
    this by creating a new program object and placing a * in
    the path and file name and a pointer to the command file
    preceded by a /K in the parameters section.  In my case
    this is /K F:\BIN\OS2\CSETENV.CMD. 

Using this setup I have no problem running either of the 
aforementioned compilers straight from the CD.  I do not 
have or use Borland C++ for OS/2 1.5 so am unable to test 
such a setup here for you.  Hopefully this will help, but 
your milage (or should that be kilometreage?) may vary.
