I know Powershell is the best thing ever, but if I was going to try and tackle this packaging job, I'd look at using AutoIT. It can compile as a self-contained .exe file with all of your files and the script engine itself wrapped up in it, the scripting itself is really straight forward. You could probably have it all up in running in a few hours depending on the complexity of the application you need to install.

PowerShell is so turned on by default. If you are talking about it not being installed on XP by default, that's because XP came before it. If you are talking about the execution policy, that is to prevent the accidently execution of script files from untrusted sources.

I'm looking for an easy packager app that can handle prerequisites, and is fairly inexpensive/cheap. I'm looking at Advanced Installer, I think the Professional license should cover what we need. Any other suggestions?
