You should ever never add anything to system32. Why would you like to do this abuse?

It seems that you are using Windows, so I will assume you have Visual Studio. What you want is called a "Deployment Project". Different VS versions may have different details, so I will describe VS2010 and you can adjust accordingly.

In VS2010, open your solution. Select File -> New -> Project. Select "Other Project Types", open "Setup and Deployment", "Visual Studio Installer". Make your selection there.

You will be able to build an installer using files (source and targets) from the existing project(s) in the current solution.
