After what's finished? Your program?

David Cuny wrote a program to bind files to your exe:

There is one for dos:

But assuming you want windows then I'd recommend GKSetup:

http://www.gkware.com/

I've used it and it's very easy to use, works well and is free :)

Also, I've heard a lot of good things about Inno setup, it allows you
to create much more complicated setups then gksetup:
