You'd probably use an external builder for installations. I'm using InnoSetup and am quite content with it.

Your projects built or converted with VS 2008 are running smoothly in Win xp, win 7, win server 8 and backwards compatible?

Have you tried to run your VC++ 6.0 project setup.exe (built with InnoSetUp) in win 7 environment?

Well I'm using InnoSetup with an Access based solution. but what do you do with an installer. You use it to place the files at the proper place, do the registration as need is and do whatever is needed to integrate your program.
It does not matter with what the end-program was written. E.g you can still use VC 6 if you like (and indeed I bet a lot of people still are using Visual Basic 6 (the last "normal" Visual Basic", after that there just is VB.NET). Of course one can migrate to a more actual development environment but this has nothing to do with an installation.
Installation means. Getting all the things installed at the proper place. And for that InnoSetup works great.
