I think you can extract the files out of the executable and read
the .inf files it comes with to copy the files to the appropriate
folders yourself. It's quite a task, if you ask me, but it's good
training to get into for building an installer, and definitely worth
the effort and time. It's also good for learning how to read .inf
files as well.

The CommonProgramFiles setting can be found by typing the
following into a cmd.exe prompt (Start, Run, cmd.exe).

SET commonprogramfiles

Typically it looks like:

C:\Program Files\Common Files

Hope this helps and good luck!
