You can also use the Window Installer, you can make it using Visual Studio. It's easy.

Or you could be really sneaky and create you own installer inheriting from the installer object in the .net framework, I dont know if its possible in Visual Basic express but it should be as it is a part of the framework, you could use this article that explains how to use code to install a service and Mod it to install you program. http://www.codeproje...iceInstall.aspx. I think its good I haven't checked though
