You would have to purchase Install Shield, and learn how to use it. Build a project, specify files, etc.

Then, you would have to purchase winzip, learn how to use it, create a set of folders, build an exe, etc.

This is going to take you weeks. The other option is to just create a set of folders and files and tell the user how to copy those onto their hard drive. There isn't actually an "installation". It's just copying files. You could even do that with a simple script. We chose to use an installer just to make it look fancy.
