Go to the VS2005 /Add new project.
Take Set up and Deployement from Other project types.
Build it and that will give u an msi.
Now u can add u r dlls and related registry or wat ever u want by adding it in the "File System" which u can see on the left pane of the project.
Hope it helped

thanks Chinu,

But my problem is that I already had an msi package(which is an installer) and i want to add that one to my setup and deployment project. When I want to install my setup project the msi package also should be installed so that i don't have to install that msi package once again by cliking on it. I added the msi package(installs when we click on it), but my project is copying that package and placing it in the specified location. Once again i have to do double clicking on that package to install it.
Is there any way to remove the last step (Once again i have to double click that package to install it).

regards,
