I think you might be a little mistaken. Creating a Windows Installer has nothing to do with XNA. You mean you want to create an installer for an XNA based game? If that is the case, there are a few different ways you can do it. You can create a Visual Studio Deployment project. The type of installer you are thinking of ("Wise for Windows Installer", as you call it) is created using a specific software package. There are a few other pieces of software that can do it as well. Do some googling.

I've never actually used teh Wise Installer before, so you are on your own for that. Are there some particular Wise forums (no pun intended) that you might be able to post your question on? You might be able to get more/better help there.
you could always try the nullsoft installer system

its worked for me in the past
Check out WiX (Windows Installer XML). It is an open source project maintained by Micrsoft Employees. There is alot of good information on MSDN about WiX and even a few good videos on Mircrosofts Channel9 website. It provides an easy to use XML scripting system to build Windows Installers (.MSI files).

I would also recommend Inno Setup as well. I found Inno the easiest to pick up bewteen NSIS, Inno, and WiX. However, WiX is more geared towards .NET application deployment then Inno and NSIS.


http://wix.sourceforge.net/ <-- WiX
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php <-- Inno Setup
