You can always do it. It depends on what installation toolkit you are using; I would recommend Microsoft open-source WiX:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiX[^],
http://wixtoolset.org[^].

This is the only legitimate product I know. But whatever it is, better don't use Setup project template which used to be bundled with Visual Studio: Microsoft phased it out, for some good reasons.

good tool but it's controls don't appear above solution explorer

It does appear if you install WiX VS integration. And the integration is very good, follows all the standards not just for VS, but, more importantly, for MSBuild project standard.

Sorry, I don't remember and don't want to uninstall my WiX and install it again just to see how it goes. I only remember that it wasn't a problem. It says that win39.exe is all you need: https://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/610859.
