You can do this by taking installer file in your application and write code over there.
Thanks,

We want to do it like windows setup's means serial key should have to enter at the time of installation.

You need to do the rework again. Store the the serial keys in your DB, design a form for Serial Key Validation.
Compare the keys entered by User and from DB table. If it fails alert the user about "Invalid Serial Key" else continue the installation process.
Or, create a collection list and hard code the serial list in code behind. Then compare the keys.
