               Try useing  nwcontbuild.exe

In \\NeverwinterNights\\NWN\\utils

It should do what you want.  

Note: once it is open you can just drag and drop the files you want into its window.

               I think I did this once upon a time using Nullsoft's NSIS installer package.  It's a bit more flexible and compression was a good deal better.

The bad news is you have to deal with some scripting, which may take a bit to learn.
