You might check out Knoppix.  If your app will run on Linux you could create a full bootable Knoppix CD with everything installed - then they can play around all they want and just reboot to reset everything.  I am not sure if there is a Knoppix distro that can run within Windows. I do video demos.

Hello! Is it possible to have a CD with database and postgres binaries (win32), which can be directly run (without any installation) ? Or if it is impossible to be run from read-only media, to have it as self-extracting archive, which can be run from any user account ? The goal is to have
