You need a compiler...such as the one contained in the MS Visual C++ package.

Or did you want to create a self extracting zip file?  In which case Winzip will do it.

If you use total commander (ghisler.com) you can get some plugins to do it too. WinAce and WinRar makes exe some too.

Or if you want to make an executable slide show, you can use PicturesToExe.

A little more specificity would help.   ;)

Basically I have a zip file, I can use winzip but I want to make it a little more professional.
The ability to lock out the saving path and the ability to create a shortcut would be cool to.

When I use winzip, it usually gets corrupted in a few days. I have a lot of people downloading it from a server.

That's worrying!  Any idea why?

Nullsoft's NSIS - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/home/ - is a free install package creator.  It would be a good idea to load one of the script editors too.  I tried HM NIS EDIT from http://hmne.sourceforge.net/.
