VC# Express edition (or any Express edition) does contain tools for deploying applications.

To see a comparision between the Express editions and Visual Studio see:

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/productinfo/productline/default.aspx.

To generate native images use the ngen.exe which is located in the .NET 2.0 Framework folder, typically:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

You will need to write a custom action to run ngen during the installation.

Some Windows Installer tools have an option to automatically do that such as Wise for Windows Installer.

Express editions do not come with any deployment tools, but ngen comes with the Framework so you could write a batch file to do it.
