Where can I find Self-Extracting compressed software?

Hi,
I am searching for a way to keep my setup files (softwares) all in one usb, but I am having trouble with space.
I came across a Microsoft Office 2003 7z Self-Extracting Setup file, which was only 100mb big! I just double-clicked it once and it did everything for me, in 1-2 min Office was installed on my pc without doing a thing! Now this is the perfect solution for me, I would love to have all my software is such format. I have tried searching online for such instal files but with no success.
Can I compress my install files by myself and create such a one click executable setup, or is there some place where I can download such setup files? As an example for Office 2010?
Thanks in advance

Yes, I gues thats how they make the silent installers, but its a little complex, I wonder if there isnt a more user friendly way of doing it…
Thanks for the guide though
