For Windows platform There are loads of solutions some free some not
personnaly I'd recommend wix (it's free, it uses windows installer technology) but for some it's overkill checkout http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/ for a great example/cook book
Others include
- install shield http://www.installshield.com/ (used to have a cool debugger, but not free)
- inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php)
- Wise Installer (OK looks like it's dead!)
- Do it by hand using ORCA (an MSI editor http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370557(v=vs.85).aspx)
- WIX 3.X (http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/115492)

You can also do this with the free edition of Advanced Installer. Here is 5 minutes tutorial showing how to do it: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/tutorial-simple.html
To create projects of type "Simple" you don't need a license and you can deploy the package for commercial purposes too.
