Sorry for the late reply. Quite some time ago I found a little gem called makesfx, reasonably sure it was this one: http://74.cz/en/make-sfx/index.php

The important thing (for me) was command line support; I have a .bat file with two lines similar to: 

"C:\Program Files\7-zip\7z.exe" a -tzip phix.zip @phix7zip.lst
which creates a zip file (oh, yeah, I installed 7-zip as well!) from a plain text list of files, and

makesfx.exe /zip="phix.zip" /sfx="phix.exe" /title="Install Phix" /website="http://phix.is-great.org" /intro="This program installs Phix" /defaultpath="$programfiles$\Phix" /exec="$targetdir$\ppw.bat" /overwrite
which converts it into an installation program, with the option of running whatever post-extact processing you need. Dirt simple and fully automatic.

HTH, Pete
