IMHO, WIX is the best way to create Windows installer packages. It has the great advantage of using XML scripts to define the installation package. This allows you to put them under proper change control and makes it easy to copy and edit the script for each new application rather than start from scratch. The WIX toolset also runs under wine and with a FPC cross-compiler, it is possible to build both a Windows executable and the installer package under Linux. I have some applications that I deploy under both Windows and Linux and all the builds are performed from a single bash script under Linux. You can also use 7-zip to create a self-installer package from the .msi.

If you need installer in Microsoft Installation Package format (*.msi) then you can look at WiX toolset: http://wixtoolset.org and WixEdit: http://wixedit.sourceforge.net/
