VS.NET has a standard setup project you could add to your solution. It
takes a little bit to learn and navigate, plus you'll need the Microsoft
bootstrapper plugin to make sure it exports the dotnet CLR in your
installation files. Other than that, I also use Installshield which makes
creating a setup project a bunch easier. Problem is, you'll need $ for that
solution.

What you need to do is add a Setup Project to your solution.

All the information regarding making setup programs is in the built in MSDN
Library Documentation
