How to protect a file with a password then unprotect it later (in a user proof way)

I'd like to protect a file with a strong symmetric encryption (preferably AES). So that I can distribute the file freely.

"I guess a self-extractor is indeed the easiest solution for you and your users, but would imply that all users have the same password. Many ZIP utilities support it, including 7-Zip (with AES-256).

Paquet Builder shows a nice GUI, but is not free."
