It depends, as far as I know there is an option in the VS2012.

What I do recommend you is to use dependency walker[^] (freeware) to know all what your project needs and is installed in your computer. Then you can do the Install package.

Time ago I used the Innosetup[^] (freeware as well) to make my own install, it took me a bit time to understand it, but nowadays there are plenty of manuals and examples on the net.

Setup & Deployement tool is removed from VS-2012 as far as i know.
You need todownload & Install "InstallShield".
Even this is a trial version, but still you can make a setup from this only some of Features are disabled just like Linking File Types, etc.
