I'm writing a script and will package it using PP to distribute to users that don't have Perl installed on their PCs.

So it sounds to me like you have created single .exe application. You need to make a .MSI file (Microsoft Installer). MSI file.

This will install this application just like any other .exe file. That is is Perl, makes no difference. Its just another .exe file that may live in %Program Files% or wherever.

It depends upon how sophisticated you users are. I distribute programs all the time as just .zip files (including .exe's made from PerlApp) with a half page description of what they need to do. Mileage varies a lot! Use a .MSI file for the inexperienced.
