Here is a kb article on the subject:

I'm not happy with the choices so far. I want to have a deployment project in my solution that can be zipped/sent/executed without
any manual configuration steps. Has anyone done this?

Here's a solution using a web setup project (assumes you have VS.Net). This is useful if the dev box can't reach the web server.
