VS 2008 deployment

Question

I have the following questions to ask about setup and deployment of a C#.net 2008 desktop/console application. (Notes:This will be the first time I have ever deployed a project. In addition, there is no documentation for the application.)
I do want to mention that this solution has no setup and deploy project files. It does have a project file that wraps alot of files together. There are alot of .net project files and third party software files in the proejct file called 'buildit'.
I decided that I would use the Microsoft setup and deployment projects since I do not know how to use the installer for the third party software.
My steps so far are as follows:
1. I am following directions for the setup proejct by using the followiing url: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/996a3fxs(v=VS.90).aspx.
2, I then follow the directions for the deployment project from the following url: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8z1sw3kx(v=VS.90).aspx.
From here i do not know what to do. From my step #2, I only one setting for the Configuration list.
Questions:
1. What categories do I need to tell the deployment package about?
2. Do I pick the files from the bin directory for my startup project?
3. I do not need the thrid party software any longer since we will not use it. Do you think I should remove the third party files? If not, how would I include the third party software files in the deployment package?
4. Can you pointers what how to setup the deployment project file and/or point to urls that would be helpful for me to use?
