There are examples and such.

WinRAR is one of the easiest to use:

Ariez's post brings up a good point. I would be less likely to trust an installer, since it could install some **** I wouldn't want it too.

I'm sure it can easily be broken down to see what it installs, but normal compressed rar and zip are more more trusted forms of delivery.

Best option is probably to use inno setup, it's very easy and you can edit your compilation script then make a fullly working installer.

I wouldnt use rar personally, an .exe always looks more pro.

i would use winrar...as previously mentioned you dont know what ann installler could install...sure you choose the files to install but theres a risk of installing unwanted ****...with rar it will only extract the files you put in.
