This is how the early Britannica CD sets worked, along with a bunch of other encyclopedias that I've used ages ago. It's not an uncommon approach. You don't have to actually install anything -- simply run the webserver from the DVD/CD directly. The task is made especially easy if you code your webserver in, say, Python, as you can make things reasonably cross-platform without too much effort.
