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.

We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight
paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would
learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles,
and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been
wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice.
