Either use the Deployment/Setup project[^] in Visual Studio (which is good for most simple projects) or use something more comprehensive like Wix[^]or Advanced Installer[^]

I have used setup and deployment. But those dlls are there in installed folder. While adding to outlook 2010, it says not a valid dll.

at the risk of sounding pedantic, I answered the question you asked ...

You have to establish why it's not valid; does it require MFC/ATL DLLs you're not shipping, does it need to be signed, is the manifest correct, is it the right chip architecture .... etc
