Basically, you need a setup authoring tool which creates an MSI or EXE package for your application. Here is a discussion about Java installer tools: What are good InstallAnywhere replacements for installing a Java EE application?

This way your clients will receive a single setup file which handles your application install process.

You could create a deployer not installer exactly you need to pack up the web app(.war, just an example for java ) and container and you can distribute with some configurations file based structure
