Want to learn about Setup/deployment

Does anybody know of a single source of information (book, article etc) on
setup/deployment projects? I've got the old Wrox Deployment one, but I'm
tired of never finding what I'm looking for.

Thanks for your answer. These articles are too basic. I need something much
beefier. Especially regarding custom actions.

Examples
1) I have found how to pass parameters from User Interface dialog boxes, but
not the reserved installationparameters such as [Productname]. How, for
instance, do I pick up the installation path that the user has entered.

2) Also do a need to retort to other installers to use FileOpen dialogs or
something like that? In this particular case, the user needs to assign a
wordtemplate to an action during installlation. It would be much easier if
he/she could browse the file instead of typing or copying-and-pasting.
