You didn't mention the target platform but assuming its Windows you could create an MSI package to deploy your executable. An easy to use freeware program is MAKEMSI.

There are many ways to do this. You need to be more specific, what OS? Are you installing over a network, off a CD, etc? Does your executable need anything put into the registry, or require a specific path structure to run?

In Windows, using Visual Studio you can create an install project. I've also had good experiences with the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System

There are a number of tools available to make an installation package, on Windows I've been pleased with NSIS. I also recommend HM NIS Edit, an editor for creating NSIS scripts. It has some wizards so you can very quickly make something workable, and if you need to tweak something you can then worry about editing the script. It's a very powerful system.
