The relevant choices are:
- WiX - http://wix.sourceforge.net/
- NSIS - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/
- Inno Setup - http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
NSIS is very low level, and thus has a pretty steep learning curve. You
are more or less programming machine code. However, if you invest the
time and energy, the NSIS installers are best of class: fast, small and
it can do anything you want.
WiX is based on .MSI technology, which is somewhat slow, but of course
it works, since it's the "official" Microsoft installation format.
Inno Setup is worth a second look. I think this might be the best choice
for you: relatively simple to approach, and the installers are good.
