Convert Desktop App to Web Application

At work, we're currently discussing the eventuality that our product needs to be a web application, mostly due to ease of distribution (e.g. getting servers set up by the IT departments of our customers).

Our desktop application is heavily reliant on user input, it has lots of forms and hundreds of controls which are shown and hidden based on others.

My question is, is there a NICE/EASY way - without having to remodel the entire product, which is our current solution - to make this easy for web development?

Thanks in advance.

If ease of distribution is the primary concern then maybe using a Windows Forms ClickOnce might be a viable option as you can publish your application on a webpage and users can run the application from that webpage, but it runs as a local windows forms application - and if you don't need to make any changes to the local registry or other elevated rights operations then all you need on that machine is the correct .NET Framework for it to run.
