Nullsoft Scriptable Install System - it's popular, easy to use and FREE
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) is a script-driven Windows installation system with minimal overhead backed by Nullsoft, the creators of Winamp. NSIS has risen to popularity as a widely used alternative to commercial and proprietary products like InstallShield. - Wikipedia
There is rich plugins directory for NSIS, where you can find for example a plugin for installing windows services.
Commercial alternatives:
- InstallShield - probably the most popular one
- Wise - also very popular
- Advanced Installer - new and nice, not that popular
Other:
- WiX
- Inno Setup
- Setup Project from Visual Studio - there are ways to make good complex installation packages with it, but it's not that easy.
