you can download nsis http://www.firehose.net/nsis
and use the zip->exe program.

Your files have to be pimped. So install the Pimp program. Here -

Pimp - http://ftp.winamp.com/winamp/nsdn/pimp131.exe
The FAQ - http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/pimp/faq.jhtml
The Howto - http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/pimp/howto.jhtml

You then need to create a pimp script file. This is a text file. Looks like this (the bold parts are things that you can change)-


; start lines with ; or # for comments
Name tillmans AVS files
;name displayed during setup
Text This will install tillmans AVS Presets
;text displayed when install program is started
Outfile myavs.exe
;names the file that PIMP will output.
DefaultDir $PROGRAMFILES\Winamp\Plugins\avs\
;tells the directory where PiMP will place the file that is output (best to leave this as it is)
SetOutPath \Tillman
;places the presets into the AVS directory e.g program files\winamp\plugins\avs\tillman
Addfile mypreset.avs
Addfile another preset.avs
;add your avs files to be included in the pimp file here
;end


Save the text above as tillman.psc or whatever and then use the makepimp command -
makepimp tillman.psc

It should then create myave.exe or whatever name you gave in the .psc file. If there is an error read what it says. Or post back here if you don't get it. :)
