Setup Squeezer is a commercial tool from InstallAware Software Corporation
Description from the company:
Setup Squeezer is an application to recompress Windows Installer (MSI)
and InstallShield (EXE) setups. With LZMA compression technology, and BCJ2
compression pre-processing, Setup Squeezer is able to make already-compressed
setups smaller by an additional 15% to 50%. Setup Squeezer improves on existing
setup-compression tools by offering a very simple wizard interface that helps
you intelligently unpack and repackage existing setups, with runtime support for
all versions of Windows from Windows 95 to Windows Vista, using an extraction
process that the user can abort, while running with as little as 32MB of
physical memory. Previously compressed packages and nested setups are
recursively scanned, opened, and automatically recompressed. Setup Squeezer is
available in two versions: Setup Squeezer for Windows Installer and Setup
Squeezer for InstallShield.

WinZip and WinZip SelfExtractor are commercial products by WinZip Computing, Inc.
There are several ZIP utilities that can create self extracting executables for windows. In my opinion, WinZip is the best. It supports 16 and 32 bit windows, code signing and password protection. WinZip 7.0 can even create self-extractors that span multiple diskettes.
