How to include files and folders in the deployment of a visual studio, C# project?

I am working on a C# application. Inside this program it looks through a directory and uses files in the same directory containing the exe files in the debug folder. I added a setup project, for deployment, to the solution for the application. I tend to be naive and figured I could just drop the files and folders into the installation folder after I install it on another computer. I know there is a way to add these files and folders to the projects and set it up to have the installer install these files at the time of installation.

I assume you are working with Visual Studio 2010, and using Visual Studio Installer Setup Project to create an MSI output file.

Right click on the Setup project, select View menu, and select File System.
In there you are able to define files and folders to be installed.
