One WAMP package I used some time back had a limited automated self-test
built in to the installation, so it displayed a list of working and
non-working components, and since it was trying out underlying infrastructure
as well, could give a good idea about what needed fixing.

Sounds like a similar package test for desktop systems would find
many takers ! Could build it into a distro so that installer-admins could
be told what was broken in technical terms.
