I would strongly recommend open-source WiX:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiX[^],
http://wixtoolset.org/[^].

[EDIT]

Another useful idea could be using WiX#:
https://wixsharp.codeplex.com[^],
Wix# (WixSharp) UI Extensions[^].

*hat tip*
Impressive. You know what I mean.
Almost scolded the poster of solution 4 for reviving this question, then realized the reason for it :)

That's thanks to you, who brought this product to my attention. Unfortunately, I failed to find my past answer where the inquirer shifted to WiX (so far), but had problems with custom UI with optional directories. It's possible that WiX# could be a better option. (Since your last message, I just looked through these articles on WiX#, but did not try it out yet, too busy.)
