How do I bundle an exe in my program and deploy it?

I made a program that cycles home pages for IE.

Except the only thing I want to do that I odn't know how to is make it automatically install itself...

There are two exe files top the program. One exe that gathers the urls, and writes a bunch of values to the registry, and the other reads in those values, and swaps the pages around when the computer starts up.

I want to make it so I can include the second exe into the first one, and have the first one deploy it to a specified folder instead of making the user manually create the folder and put the exe in it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou.
 
If you have Developer Studio, use the built-in Microsoft Installer project wizard (it's called a "setup project", under "Setup and Deployment Projects") to create an .msi file. This will allow you to bundle the two EXEs together and have them installed at the same time, anywhere you want on the computer.
