[OSGeo Africa] Spatial data viewer to run off a CD?

[Gavin Fleming]

I haven't done this myself, but I believe you can use OpenLayers
(http://openlayers.org/) by simply writing an html page that uses this
javascript file (http://www.openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js). The
result would be that a browser would open up when the CD is inserted,
with your page with OpenLayers running inside it, which you would
preconfigure to load the data on your CD.

Subject: [OSGeo Africa] Spatial data viewer to run off a CD?

Does anyone know of a spatial data viewer that can be freely distributed

on CD along with spatial datasets (currently in shapefile format but can

be converted into other formats). I would like to use autorun to start 
the viewer when the CD is inserted and then automatically load the 
datasets. I've looked at a few free shapefile viewers but they all need 
to be installed and won't run directly from the CD. I would rather have 
something that runs automatically without the end user having to install

anything. Anybody have any ideas?
