What other files do I need to distribute with an executable?

Hi,

I've finished a small application using Delphi 5. I created an installer using InstallShield Express but this is pretty basic for what I want to do. I want to copy and register dll files to the users PC and InstallShield doesn't seem to provide for this.

I've been looking at the NSIS installer. I have a script that copies all the files fine and creates shortcuts etc....

The trouble is that when I click the *.exe file it doesn't work. Is there any other files, apart from the executable, that I need to distribute with my application?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
It's ok I managed to get this working properly with Inno Setup. Don't know what's wrong with NSIS at all? I've used it with C++ Builder before and it worked fine.
