WHAT I HAVE:

Visual Basic 2019, .NET 4.6.1

MY PROBLEM:

In the pre-.NET days of VB, the (main) installer program for one's application was itself a VB program, allowing one to customize how the installation package looked and behaved when run. How does one customize the look and behavior of a VB.NET program's installer when publishing? I'd value any input on this, as I eventually will have to publish my application, and I don't want it to necessarily have a "generic" look and behavior.

It appears that I need a third-party tool in order to create an installer with a customized appearance and behavior. The thing is, I don't have a lot of money. What are my cheapest options, given what I want to be able to do?
