Distribute Application Redistribute

It's easy to create an install package for a VB .Net application,
however, I want to install this application on about 20 machines over
my companies network without having to install it on every single
machine individually. I know this is possible but I can't seem to find
the right direction.
When you add a installation project to your solution, you get the
option to "create a redistributable package" with two radio buttons
"Create a merge module for Windows installer" or "Create a
downloadable CAB".. I don't know how these work.
If somebody could point me in the right direction I'd be very
appreciative.

Thanks for the help.

If your application only constists of an EXE and some .NET DLLs, just
copy them into a directory on the destination machine. Remember that
the .NET Framework must be installed on every client.
