There was another well-known one whose name escapes me just now(later ...aha...Wise Solutions, youve prob seen 'unwise.exe' in a few places), but WinRAR does include the basic functionality of making an installer. It doesnt include uninstall support tho, but you could add that in a program of your own, well the registry keys bit would be trivial...
Also there is NSIS (Nullsoft Install System) which is more advanced. Havent tried it yet but it looks good. Google for it , its on sourceforge somewhere
Also theres the MSI approach. I heard of something called 'MSI Creator' or similar, havent tried that either. I think .msi's seem to be a bit more on the bloatware side
Or google for 'installer system', there are probably more
