I don't know much about installers, but I imagine it might be doable with a lot of work. Doesn't sound like an enviable task, though. You don't know what may be installed already on a machine - what if there's already a web server that wants to listen on port 80 or if there's a previous version of the dbms being used for applications? Sounds like it could get insanely complicated.
I think a feasible approach might be to go one step further and actually supply the hardware with everything preinstalled. The so-called web "appliance". After you add up the cost of licenses for CF and say, MS SQL, the hardware itself would be a small percentage of the cost.
