I need a Setup / Installation program,
I remember coming across one, can't remember if it was in Samples or Contributions, but now I can't find it again.
Can anyone help please?

The best setup program by far is InnoSetup, the most of us use it for programm instalation, is a free for use even for commercial applications.
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
It works based on a Script "compiling" all your program resources (EXE, DLL, DBF, etc) and "melting" them all together into a single INSTALL.EXE file.
It's fully customizable, you can create directories, indicate where to place certain files, such DLLs, you can also create or modify entries in the registry or register DLL for Activex.
It's multilanguage also, you can specify in which language you want the installation to be performed.

For a long time we have used Setup2Go for .exe installation and Installer2Go when when we need msi installation. Both are free and easy to use.

NSIS can be found on
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page
It´s a very good nstaller, easy to use and supports also the new look of InstallShield.
I suggest, also to download HM NIS Edit, an editor for the scripts. It´s includes a wizard to create installations on the fly.
