I've always wondered how they do it. Is it possible for me to create and Installation setup file and put my own files into it? If so, how can I do it?

The best free program I've found is Inno Setup. It does everything I've ever needed in an installation program. You can use custom images, text, options, everything. It also creates uninstall programs. (I also use the third-party GUI ISTool, but some people might prefer not to use it).

Just thought I should mention this.

To everyone who makes and/or uses an installer that:
1) Drops shortcuts everywhere (Start menu, Quick Launch, desktop) without asking (or worse, asks where to put them without a "DON'T PUT THEM ANYWHERE YOU SAFFDSFAS " option).
2) Changes existing file associations without asking.
3) Expires for no good reason (ahem, AVG).
and/or
4) Lacks options to NOT install the 32 graphical themes, 17 languages, sound effects, and tutorials that I'm never goin to use.

If it does the job, sure. Just needed to make that information perfectly clear.
