Yes.  But you're going to have to tell them to create shortcuts to the
application, and things like that.  Unless you plan to make a really
full-fledged installer, and I doubt that is the case.

That dialog certainly exists, but you're going to have a very hard time
explaining to people how to use it.  It's very unfriendly,
and needlessly convoluted.  Editing the registry by hand is simpler,
IMHO, and certainly far faster.
