Yes. The commercially look installers are based on products such as InstallShield you can buy.
Visual Studio allows you to create a special type of project which is an Installation Pack.
You can also embed everything inside your software so first time your software runs, it install itself.

We need to purchase them all except Wix Installer which is free and open source to create Windows installer. Please do google it for more details about each tool.
