How to use IExpress

[jj22171]

I have a VBScript (MySetup.vbs) that creates folders (C:\Documents and Settings\#UserName#\All Users\MyCopyFolder) and copies files (icon, shortcuts, mdb) from a shared network drive and to user's folders. It works fine.
Now I want to create a self-extracting file using iexpress. I included a bat file to run MySetup.vbs. The resulting exe works only if the files are in the source network drive. Apparently the exe is not a self-extracting file. Questions: a) Where are the files being extracted to? b) How can I make my iexpress work?
Appreciate any help.

Thanks, linmey. I've browsed through most of those threads and other related topics and had the impression that iexpress is easy to use based some people's comments. I thought maybe there's something missing after following the step by step procedures in one of the sites.
