There's the Windows Installer projects that are seemlessly integrated with VS.NET. You can even assign your build outputs, sources, content, etc. to directories and what-not. If you really don't mind learning the internals of the MSI database, you can get free tools in the Platform SDK, but you have to do almost everything yourself. Otherwise, you could go with commercial solutions.

Another options lies in the System.Configuration.Install namespace, where you use and create installer classes that can do about anything, from installing Windows Services to VS.NET toolbox items to custom CodeGroups. To use these, you use installutil.exe [options] MyAssembly.dll. InstallUtil.exe is a utility in the .NET SDK.

There are other free solutions out there, but none with support for .NET assemblies that I've seen. I recommend either the Windows Installer projects in VS.NET or writing custom installers like I also mentioned.
