Yes you can if you check out "The Golden Coin" he does exactly that. I think he uses "Install Creator" as his software.

but the install creator creates just an installer...
that would mean that the player will need all the sandbox files, but instead of depacking them, he will install them^^

you knw that sandbox has a lot of useless files you can delete (some you will have to because of copyright issues)?
for example sandbox is about 250 mb, but the golden coin is about 100mb

FWIW, most of the files that can't be used due to licensing issues are in the process of being phased out.
