The Zope WIN install could be improved so that the ZopeHTTPServer gets installed more automatically and run just by CD insertion.
Comments anyone?
Rather than install the Zope server, why not create a special implementation of the IE4 browser with Zope built-in. You could create a multi-threaded app, one thread could run the python interpreter with Zope objects. The other thread could be the gui with the IE4 ActiveX HTML viewer control thrown in. You'll have full control over where the HTML viewer can connect to, and you can start it off by pointing it at some local port that you've chosen for the internal ZopeHTTPServer. This way everything can run off the CD without installing anything, and you won't leave anything lingering on the user's machine.
