The program will need to install 2 third party components and insert things like registry settings etc.... I am open to suggestions on the best way to achieve this so any input is very much appreciated. Thanks very much

The "best" way to achieve what? Best compared to what? Read the documentation for whatever installation creation package you are using and follow the directions contained within the help file.

So why not just create a ordinary MSI-Package (Windows-Installer) e.g. you can create one with the free wix toolset WiX Toolset[^]

Then execute with quiet option:

msiexec /i c:\path\to\package.msi /quiet
