Convert LAMP application to be distributed as a Windows MSI

I have recently completed a web based application for a client running on a LAMP system - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. However, the spec has been changed and rather than the application be available over the web, the client now wishes it to be only available internally via their windows network. Is it possible to set up apache, php, mysql on Windows, install my web app including mysql database and PHP code and then create an MSI that can be distributed on a CD ROM etc and installed on a Windows network?

The easiest way would be XAMPP ( http://www.apachefriends.org/de/xampp.html ).

But I guess it will be harder to programm/generate the MSI (eg WiX) than to use another approach like installing xampp and then placing your php/mysql files correctly in there.

You could also install XAMPP on your PC, setup everything fine, and zip it back up. Customer would then need to install XAMPP and overwrite the files with the content of your zip.
