Could it be this simple?

[Scott Morrow]

Hello Bill,

Check out Install Gadget

http://www.sweattechnologies.com/InstallGadget/

For simple installations like you are talking about, Install Gadget is  
hard to beat. The user gets a nice interface.  You get a simple drag  
and drop build... can't be easier.  The drag and drop does need to  
happen on a Windows OS.
