try using Advanced Installer for windows... It is a closed source application for creating .exe,.msi installer files for the applications.

Depending on your feelings about script languages AutoIt might be just the thing for this. Aut2Exe.exe (the compiler) is only 340KB I have done this kind of thing before to make an application that creates other applications. In this post on the AutoIt forums it is explained how to do exactly this with AutoIt. Good luck!

You could make a self extracting exe.

or

You could use vbc or csc from the .net framework, they're shipped as part of the framework (not sure about the new 3.5 client stuff)

Why GCC when there's a bunch of ways to create self-extracting exe's (and run a command when you extract)?

Commercial example (Zip 2 Secure EXE)
