Hello.
It depends on how complicate setup process do you wish to create.
Consider to use one of following
1. Creating your own MSI package[^] (I'm not sure that this feature is still in VS2010, I can't check this - I don't have VS2010 at moment) and edit it with Orca[^] from Microsoft Windows SDK[^]
+ Free
- Sofisticated MSI tables structures

2. InnoSetup[^] or Gp-Install
+ Simple and easy to use
+ Free

3. InstallShield[^]
+ Powerful and flexible
- Expensive
