Requirements: 7zip
I recommend using InstallWatch as it records what new registry entries there is and also which files have been modified.
Every .WA needs a tasks.txt file within it so W7T knows what to do with it, an example is below:
Make a folder i.e. D:\Addon
Step 1: Tasks.txt


Name=Mozilla Firefox
Creator=Legolash2o
Version=3.0.6
Arc=x86
Description=Open Source internet browser.

[CopyFolder]
Mozilla Firefox::Program Files

[CopyFile]
Mozilla Firefox.lnk::Users\Public\Desktop
Mozilla Firefox.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Name
This is the name of the program or addon
Creator
Your name or the maker of the addon
Version
The version of the program/addon you are making
Arc
Which version of the program you are making their are only 3 choices
x86 - These addon will work on both x86 and x64 images, if it is integrated into x64 it will put the files in folders like "Program Files (x86)" or "SysWOW64".
x86! - x86 only
x64 - x64 only
Build (Optional)
This will only let you install the addon on certain versions of windows i.e. 7068. This is useful for patches like Themes.
Build=7000! *Build 7000 only
Build=7000 *Build 7000 or newer
Website (Optional)
When the addon is double clicked in the list, it will open the website specified
Step 2: Copying Folders


[CopyFolder]
Mozilla Firefox::Program Files

This is easy...
name of folder::where to put it
Mozilla Firefox will be copied into Program Files folder.
Put Mozilla Firefox folder in your root addon folder (D:\Addon)
Step 3: Copying Files


[CopyFile]
Mozilla Firefox.lnk::Users\Public\Desktop
Mozilla Firefox.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Put Mozilla Firefox.lnk in your root addon folder (D:\Addon)
Also easy....
name of file including extension (.exe, .lnk, whatever):: folder to put it in
Firefox links will be copied to both Desktop and Start Menu
Step 3: Registry Entries
Just simply copy the exported .reg file into the root folder of the addon (D:\Addon)
Note: You may want to clean the registry file and remove entries like your name, serial codes, temp stuff like MuiCache and sometimes there is a really long entry and i mean long, remove that too!
Normal Registry File


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1]
"Example"="This is an example string"
"Example2"=dword:00000001

Delete Key (Note they hyphen (-) before HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\)



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1]
"Example"="This is an example string"
"Example2"=dword:00000001
Delete Value (Note the hyphen (-) after the equals sign(=))



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1]
"Example"="This is an example string"
"Example2"=-

Step 4: Creating the addon file (.WA)
Using the example above you should have something similar to...
D:\Addon
D:\Addon\Mozilla Firefox\ (with firefox files within it)
D:\Addon\Mozilla Firefox.lnk (shortcut)
D:\Addon\Tasks.txt
D:\Addon\Example.reg (optional)
Simply highlight all the files in the folder, right-click, 7zip > Add to Archive
Once its open change .7z to .WA make sure its on Ultra compression and click OK

Notes
When it comes to the "Description" in tasks.txt it can only be one line, it can not be multiple lines.
For example:
This program has the following features:
*blah
*blah
*blah
The Addon Integrator will only display "This program has the following features:"
