Winforms Application Setup Creation in VS2010

I know that this is a very stupid question, but I have not been able to find a definitive Guide to creating a basic Installer for my windows forms application. I know we have to use Setup and Deployment Projects in VS2010 but have not been able to find any step by step guide for it.

If possible please guide开发者_开发技巧 me regarding the same. Thanks

Many Winforms projects don't require an installer. Just copy the files in the Release folder, formally named "XCopy deployment". The walkthrough for a Setup and Deployment project is here.

I'm currently learning how to do setup projects as well.. I found a couple of sites that helped me to get off the ground and have a basic installer. I know the first link is from way back in 2005, but it still helped.
