    Inno Setup will do everything you need and more, plus its free.
    Highly recommended & very professional looking

    winrar's self extracting .exe's are way handier than winzips, you can do stuff like choose a program to run when finished, create shortcuts (i think), give the .exe an icon of it's own, make a default path for extracting to...
    and you can make either a self extracting .zip or .rar (rar's compression is so much better)
    you should be able to find it on download.com
