One issue I seem to have with MS installer built into VS is that for a web app, I don't seem to be able to get the option to create a virtual directory - everything installs under the wwwroot.
Do these other installers give the ability to prompt for an alternative file system location and then set the web apps' application path to that ? Or am I missing something in the MS installer ?

You could dig into WiX, which is XML based and MS' own format to write installers. You can also opt for innosetup: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php which is free and widely used. And ofcourse you can shell out a lot of money for installshield or wise. I'd say: start with innosetup, and go from there. After all: installing software is very basic: unpack files, copy files to destination folder, eventually create regkeys and menu options and that's it. And as every installer nowadays uses the MS installer service, they all basicly work the same under the hood anyway.
