You haven't specified what you mean by "any computer" and what the problems are when the installation fails, so it's pretty much impossible to tell you anything useful.

Here is the step to crete setup file, which will work in any computer

1.On the File menu, point to Add, then click New Project.

2.In the resulting Add New Project dialog box, in the Project Types pane, open the Other Project Types node, open Setup and Deployment Projects, and select Visual Studio Installer.

3.In the Templates pane, choose Setup Project for a standard setup, or Web Setup Project for a Web application.

thank you for your solution .I tried it . but I don't find visual studio installer in my visual studio 2010 express....how can i get it

You can't. The Express Editions only support ClickOnce deployment.

There are 3rd party packaging solutions such an InnoSetup or InstallShield LE (Google them). You'll have to learn repackaging and they don't integrate with Visual Studio Express.
