Take a look at
InstallGadget - it was written in Revolution, using InnoSetup for Windows and PackageMaker for MacOSX under the hood - and is extremely easy to use.
HTH,

Hi Ronaldo,
I do this kind of things for customers. Unfortunately, I can't share the code publicly, but if you need help, you can contact me by e-mail.
You can start a programme from within Revolution, using the launch command or with VBScript (AppleScript on Mac). You can store files in custom properties and write them to the application folder during installation. I prefer to use the compress function to compress data that is kept in custom properties. Just keep in mind that such executables need to run as admin.
Best,
Mark
