Hi Mitchell,

I created a slick installer to do just what you want with Inno setup.
Nice and easy to use with no MSI/WIX dependencies or complexities.
Get it here, full source included with a BSD license for the parts I wrote.
www.amsoftwaredesign.com/downloads/pg_installer_setup.zip

It's only been tested with 8.1, but should work just fine with 8.2.

This program is AS IS..with no support from AM Software.

Inno Setup is available from here for free:

I can't remember exactly, but I think this one comes in at around 8mb.
