I think you're stuck with a self-extracting program then. Just have a
wrapper program which includes all the exes and dlls as resources and, when
run, it'll extract them to a temporary folder, run the target executable,
wait for it to quit and delete the files it extracted.
You could extend the model to automatically download updates as well, but
having them all included in the wrapper helps you in the case that the
end-user isn't connected to the internet.

Thank you for your feedback everyone.
Meaning of "dummies" in my case.
- most end-users who could not find their rear-ends with a flash light
even if their life depended on it. (please try not to laugh because it's a
serious situation in my case)
So as you can see
an XCOPY(or a batch file with an XCOPY)
nor the installer
are acceptable solutions.
I was only thinking of single file distribution(MyApplication.exe). All the
end-user has to do is download MyApplication.exe via a link on a HTML page,
save the file on the Desktop. And run it.
Sincerely,
Vlad
