Which Visual studio .NET can generate good setup programs?

[Ravenik]

Is there any diffrence between VS .NET 2005 Standard and Professional as regards features for generating setup programs for my Windows-forms applications (which use VBA code for Word/Excel automation).
I ask because I consider buying that software and don't know which version. However "Professional" version is over two times more expensive.

I expect generated setup programs to perform:
- check .NET framework presence and install it if need
- install program to selected folder (preferrably under "Program files"
- generate uninstaller
[ if possible ] :
[- check if referred libraries are present (VBA: Word.* Excel.*, Microsoft.Office.Core)]
[- allow user to chose submenu under "start" menu]
[- ask for generating desktop icon]

Regards,
Mark

To my knowledge, there should be no reason why Standard can't do that for you. If you plan to make this a once/couple of time occurrence, you can download the 90 day trial and create your install.
