Maybe try one of these.
They have script generators that can help you step-by-step when creating your installer script. EclipseNSIS has the most features, but you need to install 4 or 5 big components to get it setup. Maybe try VenisIX or HM NIS Edit.

yes!!! it is very simple with the wizard of venisIX...thnx very much...but i have 1 more little problem...i want that when a person installs my program, a file must be instlled in C:/windows/, but if a person has renamed it (or changed the folder C:/windows in any way) if there is a way to find the folder even if the name is different. (it's a system folder so is there a way to find it?)

Yes; NSIS has a list of constants that are very useful.

So you can use $WINDIR instead of "C:\WINDOWS" in your script, and NSIS will use the proper location. That is a good idea to use the constants anyway, to support languages that might have a different name for folders, etc.
