Hello there,
In VC++6, you can use Installshield for vc6 to create a setup for your
project. But how to do so in VC++.NET? Thank you very much in advance.

If you have Visual Studio, you can create a "deployment project" to build an
installer for your C++ project.

You can also use InstallShield or Wise or any number of other installer
products.

In addition to what Carl has told you, if you are limiting your choices to
InstallShield, here is what appears to be a current (at least the header
says Visual Studio .NET) and active link for a 3rd party tools DVD, which
includes InstallShield:

Have a look at the Wix project, it's an XML language for creating the installers
based on the Windows Installer technology.

The build-in features of Visual Studio 2003 provide for creating very simple
and basic installers only and cannot fit more or less complex projects.
