You can have a look at Ghost Installer (there is a free version) "...which is able to manage files, registry entries, shortcuts, components and packages." (
http://www.ethalone.com/Features_Free.php).
You're right with the registry setting. The easiest way to get all the keys and settings is to create a new menu and sub items from the Utilties -> Menu Editor and see what new entries appear. Then simply replicate this in your install package.
Good luck,

I have a developed some SPSS automation routines using VB (and the older
Windows SDK) and would now like to create an installation package to
distribute my app to several users.
Does anyone have any experience with this they might be willing to share?
I'm assuming I can use something like InstallShield to bundle up the files
but what about adding custom menus to SPSS programmatically?
From what I can gather, the menu editor command adds the registry entries
to: HKEY_USERS\...\Software\SPSS\SPSS for Windows\14.0\OtherApps\
