creating a IE application that runs from a CD

[revilord]

I am looking at creating an application that doesn't install anything (or atleast appear to) on the client. The existing VB6 application installs on the client and connects to the Access DB that can either sit on the CD or be copied to the users hard drive.

I want to update this program to .NET and maybe use MSDE as the DB. Instead of having the program run in a Winform I want it to run in Internet Explorer. Is this possible? If so is there anything, besides IE 5.5 or greater that the user needs?

If you want to know why it's because some of the users have internet access and can use the interent version but some do not. We want both the online and offline versions to appear the same.

If you want to run web pages from a CD then they will have to be in HTML as they will not be running from a web server which means that you can't run any server code (e.g. ASP.NET).
