Another free alternative for creating MSI packages fast and easy would be Advanced Installer, the "Simple" project type, the other ones require a commercial license. It has a VS add-in that automatically integrates when you install it, for VS 2010 and 2012, and also supports automatic command line builds.

It also has a Dialogs Editor, but this requires you register the application.

Have a look at Visual Studio Installer Deployment on the Microsoft site. This is a large section with many articles.

If you want to modify the install interface have a look at this section: Customizing Windows Installer Packages
