Ok, so this was NOT made by me, i found this cool tutorial on the web :) Here is what you should do

Go : Start - RUN - type in :"iexpress" i am not sure, but i never installed this and i found it on my comp, so it should be on yours to :)

Now select "Create new Self Extraction Directive file"
And click Next
Now select "Extract files ONLY" !
And click next xD
Now enter title for your setup :) and go next
Here you can add msgbox on setup start, to be sure if user wants to install !
Now, you can add "Yes Or No" msg on your setup start, you can enter here something like "Install or not ?"
and msgbox yes&no will show ! And click next
Now, if you have a licence file, select "Display licence" or if you don't, just select "Do not display licence" and NEXT xD

Now add your project files and go next
Now select "Default" recommend :)
and again next
You can add Finish message, when setup is complete, something like "Setup completed !"
Now, you need to create a name for your Setup, just browse, select desktop and REMEMBER, this is SAVEFILEDIALOG, not open file dialog, so DON'T overwrite something !
Just add name "Setup APP" and that is it ! NEXT
you can save this "Setup" project, so you can edit it later, or just select Don't Save and you are done !

Hope this helps :)

I will try this when I get home from school. Will edit this post when I return.
EDIT: Woops, little late? :) Works great, nice! I think I may stick with Install Creator Pro, but this would be good for a self-extraction wizard. Thanks!
