make .net developed application silently installable

I have made an application in .net 4. I want to publish it so it can be installed silently by an administrator to multiple users' computers. Should I include something as a code somewhere in the program or there should be something set in the options of the publishing ?
I have heard that it has something with .msi file type. Or maybe make a console application that executes some command line... I just have no clue at all how to approach this problem.

I would use the ClickOnce capability available through the Publish feature of Visual Studio.

See Installation and Update Management: A User Perspective
and
ClickOnce Installation
