Well, you got Package and deployment wizard, but that really isn't so good (my opinion). Visual Studio Installer (comes with VS enterprise edition) is much better, and much custoimizable.

then we still have two very good non M$ programs,

Installshield, a real good and powerfull installer

Wise installation, as the name implies, it's is wise to use it.

About installshield, it takes indeed a bit of practice to get along with it, but hey, so does Nero burning software, but once you know how to use it, it is one of the most powerfull of it's kind.

I'd recommend InnoSetup from http://www.innosetup.com - very powerful and scriptable, what's more it's free.
