Creation of a windows installer package

Can Visual Studio make a Windows installer from a c++ project (MSI or EXE setup file) without relying on InstallShield or Advanced Installer?

Actually, I haven't found the way to create an installation package with Visual Studio, as I did for InstallShield or Advanced Installer!
