You propobly need to set

BuildAction=Content

and

Copy to output directory = Copy always

on files in those folders. After that should be included in deploy.

If you want to add files/folders that are not a part of your project output, you can go to File System inside the setup project, select Application Folder from the left and drag and drop the required folder/files in the right, alternatively you can right click and select Add->Folder/File from the menu.

I used to work with Visual Studio ,making setup's but now im using Smart Setup Maker or Install Shield .There you can manage some great things Including other Setup Files if you're application need's other Software's .Also using Install Shield you can provide some triggers like user should have .NET 3.5 installed etc.
