Visual Studio: Publish application

I made a simple Windows application to test how I can publish my application. So what I want to know is how can I publish my application so that it creates an installer so that other users around the world can download, install and use my application?

Thanks

You could try ClickOnce.

ClickOnce deployment allows you to publish Windows-based applications to a Web server or network file share for simplified installation.

You just need to define which prerequisites you want to include in bootstraper, as described here

You could use the "setup" project available in visual studio, that creates a MSI file.

Also you may use the publish concept called "click-once-deployment". Please go through this article that explains the methodology:

Create homepage to describe your application information, update somewhere for others to download. Well, you can give a try by creating a site on CodePlex, SourceForge...
