You might try Visual Studio Installer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/vsi11/

Hi Phil,

I tried above. It works much better than "Setup & deployment wizard" in VB6. It has got so many options available also.

Only thing, I could not get to add "Un-Install " option through this in my application setup. Could anyone help ?

On several attempt, I found that Un-Install option is not required as such. If application is already installed , running setup again will bring the "Un-install" dialog box.
