For the distribution of excel files, I have used the inno setup compiler procide by Jordan Russell at www.innosetup.com . It is a free utility and provides a standard looking installation program in .exe format. You can also specify a password to install the utility.

Just be aware that the password isn't encrypted and the source for the program is available. Should keep most users at bay.
