XAMP + Ampstart
http://ampstart.com/

 From checking the docs, what you do is setup XAMP on your system, 
configure and install everything, than copy it all over to a CDROM along 
with AmpStart.  You need to update the INI file as the MySQL database 
will need somewhere to store new data(Sessions, logons, etc) - so what 
Ampstart actually does is copy the MySQL database over to a directory 
you specify on the PC and runs from there.

As an alternative, use a USB drive, you can get 1G drives fairly cheaply 
and then you will have read/write access to the drive and no need to 
depend on the directory existing.

I imagine a more involved solution would be to run MySQL and have it 
place all the tables in memory, so any updates will be done to the 
memory versions and when you stop the program running it reverts to the 
default set and does not require a directory on the hd to store data.
