FYI, BlueDragon very nicely addresses both the technical and licensing
issues you raise. Again, if you're interested I can have someone from our
sales and/or technical staff contact you with details.

Subject: Re:cf web app on a cd?
Forgetting about the licencing and pricing issues (see strong recomendation
at the bottom of post) for a moment (for CF and SQL Server), you probally
will not be able to run CF from a CD for the following reasons:
Even using apache/Tomcat CF takes up at nearly 300MB of space (nearly 1/2 of
the CD). This does not include any compoents (Java runtime engine, services
interfaces or any other component that might be installed outside the Tomcat
application.)
This would not include any programs that would autoluanch apache/Tomcat or
any database functionality. Nor would it include your application or any
space to run your application. This would also not add the permissions
necessary to run Tomcat properly as well -- since Tomcat or any other J2EE
server requires local administration permissions to reach certain resources.
Adding a Database (forget about SQL Server) would at least another 50-90
MBs, assuming you're using mySQL as your database. SQL Server is really tied
to the operating system so it will be hard if not impossible to run.
Before ASP.net entered the fray, it was much easier to move applications
into ASP using Microsoft's Personal Web Service-- having support for ASP out
of the box. With ASP.net other overhead exists making CD versions not as
attractive.
When you add licencing issues (Microsoft makes you pay for each connection
unit, CF on a dual CPU basis.) then very quickly you'll see the reason why I
would (strongly) not recommend anyone going down this path.
Better to ask if the client has some Internet conductivity and would be
willing to go down the Flash client/CF, SQL Server server route instead.
This way you are not placing your client at a legal risk.
