Game deployment solutions

Hey everyone. We are getting to that all important first Alpha milestone soon. One of the issues we have is creating a deployment script.
Does anyone know of a pre-made solution for doing this? Or would this be something I would need to write myself?
I am looking to perform the following acts:
Create a new subdirectory
Copy all files over of a certian extention
Excempt certain files and directories
Any ideas?

I use Inno Setup - it's free, very easy to use, and has a very advanced scripting system. I think it will do what you are talking about, but i could be wrong on that. But it will set up the directory, add and store keys in registries, handle updates, etc.

Im not exactly looking for an installer. What I need to do is take the current CVS repository, and use that to build a client game directory. I suppose what I really need is an advanced file copy program.

Have you looked at XNA Build? http://www.microsoft.com/xna ?
