A friend has the WORST software architecture situation in the world. I was wondering if anyone could help me walk him through it. He has a business logic engine for mapping 3-d data to the screen written in C++. His clients want him to create a thin-client, preferably a web-based tool on a CD-Rom. This can have an access database on the backend. The clients want to deliver this product in 2009. So there will be a cd rom with a one-click install that will utilize the 3d mapping engine in C++. He must then take the same code and implement it on a server in 2010. The same front-end and the same middleware must be put on a server. The clients do not have a server now. As you can imagine this is a noncommercial product. The above requirements cannot change unless we can positively prove they won't work. We are looking into how to architect something like this. Any tips or tricks? thanks!

.Net installer for CD. Thin client.. unsure... will depend on clients having web access... need more deets on that. Server - .Net 3.5, WPF actually provides a load of 3d tools - I just finished a 3D engine in WPF... 1 click installer, on a CD. Sound good?
