You could try some Virtualization stuff,
Google Vmware or VirtualBox.
You can install & run multiple platforms and of course OpenSuse!

I dont want to use a virtualization software, neither use a live cd. I think openSuse should create a similar application to wubi.

Yeh I dont think openSUSE has something like wubi... yet.
But its kind of a good thing as some people have had issues with wubi, wubi is far from an ideal solution
