Hi Preeti, You can do it your self, I have written this article for the same very purpose.Just follow the article and u'll be champ of creating installers and uninstallers. This article also covers your problem of exe not working on non .Net Framework systems. The exe created in this article takes .Net Framework from the installer location, http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/1492b1/creating-an-msi-package-for-C-Sharp-windows-application-using-a-v/ //Mark as Accepted answer if this helps u. :-)

You can also attach the .NET framework while creating the setup just go to the properties -> prequiesties-> add .NET 3.5 and it will be available in the debug folder with the Set Up.
