There is an exe file that my client downloaded (after ubantu failed to install apache from its own repository for some reason) When the exe was run, it first installed apache server on windows then it installed mysql on windows and then copied the php codes to the relevant folder and created the database in mysql initiated the browser and took it to the login page of the crm.
What you are pointing out is a function of packaging the application and, configuring the dependencies/requirements appropriately so as to enable install the application plus the relevant packages and, then using a sample configuration file to start the service.
You are presuming 1) All the expertise of making your app run on doze is available with the developer 2) That the performance and support issues will remain the same as with linux 3) That doze environments are homogenous
None of which are true. Packaging stuff is the minor problem. There were several installer creation apps available on doze 98, and i am sure would be available on other M$ oses.
