You can check out the Application Deployment forums FAQ for several free or paid installer software
Or u can create ur own in vb6. You can have the program copy files create shortcuts and directories.
Thats not a good idea. Please read thisQuote:

Create your own setup in VB... You need the runtime files already installed before your app will even work. On older systems this will not necessarily be true.
Then You Can Include Them With The Program! The File Still Runs If Those Files Are In The Same Folder As The .exe
So.... How does the installer work that needs to install the runtimes????
This has been discussed many, many, many time and it is not the proper way to do it.
Simple answere - simple installer. Just basic components that don't need to be installed. I have my own and it works fine.
I has no auto dependancy loader but I find it very usefull
:P
Lets keep this thread On-Topic ;)
