I can strongly recommend the Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset:

http://wix.sourceforge.net/

It's an interface to the Windows Installer where you define all the
specifics of your project in an XML file.  It the compiles and links
into an msi file.  Documentation and tutorials are good.  I've
switched some of our products over to it and we haven't looked back.
It even does automatic driver installs.
