What he said.

Plus:  when some other vendor does their installation and installs the 
versions
of whatever that they need your software won't get broken.   This will 
also allow
you to tell your client "we'll co-exist with anything.  No need for a 
dedicated
VM or host."   They'll appreciate that, even if they don't believe you.
