Buy Installshield? Wise is running ads that says they have great support for SQL installs, have not tried it. Seriously, a lot of the time its worth investing in tool to do it for you. Neither is cheap.
SQL does have support for unattended installs (see the help file), so you could run that from a batch file that then calls osql to do the restore and whatever other actions you need to do. Have to use care when doing this especially for SQL 7, they may have an existing SQL install and you dont want to trash it. Also need to either apply the latest service pack or make sure that they do it. Dont forget to set a password.

we had an installation program developed in Installshield which is a great tool for this purpose..
We wrote a utility just for restoring from MDF and LDF based on the parameters passed by installshield also.
