Create setup with InstallShield


I want to create setup for my winform .net application with installshield 2010.I know the steps and i have created a setup with it which works fine.

But my application need several resources to run successfully and i want to know if there is any standard way to add these resources to the setup instead of adding them to the same folder with the .exe files like what i have done in my setup?

Note that i am beginner in installshield so please give me a complete tutorial of working with this software if you have.
