Hi dd,

Take a look at Inno Setup.

http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

I have program which has a 'dist' folder that is 19.2 MB. Using Inno 
Setup, I create a single file installer (setup.exe) which is compressed
to 4.7 MB.

You may want to take a look at NSIS as well (although, I've never used it).
