The make_script and make_tar functions are what you need to create
self contained Erlang applications. You get to choose if you want to
ship sources or not.

A good supplemental read is
http://www.erlang.org/doc/system_principles/create_target.html

It only takes about a day or so of reading and experimenting to come
to grips with building applications this way.

If you need a setup.exe, use NSIS to package it all up.
