what do you mean want to say?

I mean exactly what I said. Did you have some sort of a question that you want to ask? Did you maybe want to describe some sort of a problem? "I want" is not a question or a problem and how to create installation packages instructions could be found by a simple google search.

I know how to create setup in vb.net.
I don't no how to include crystal report exe files and frame work file in that setup.

The exact same way you include your other files. Read the documentation for whatever setup creation package you are using and it will tell you all about it.
