Your website element is a "website locator" (i.e. it has no parent component). That means the CA will look for this website on the local machine to install to (and fail the install if it isn't present), rather than create it if it doesn't exist. The logs in this case appear consistent with it failing to find the website it should install to.
Try either: A) putting your website element inside of a component (so that the website will be created if it doesn't exist), or B) making sure the website it's searching for exists on the target machine before installation.
