Uninstall Program?

[Lanc1988]

I have vb.net 2003 Standard and I have an install for my program, but some users have been asking that i supply an uninstall.

How would I go about doing that?

If you are using the setup tools that come with Visual Studio to create a Setp package (.msi file) then it should also provide an uninstall routine - look in control panel -> add remove programs

But I want to be able to add an Uninstall Program file to their startmenu

 

[Lanc1988]

anyone know?

Is there a problem with using the control panel? If so then you will probably have to use a 3rd party tool.

hmm also wanted to do the same. just interested if there will be a solution without a third party tool/component.

Putting uninstall programs in the start menu is a very Windows 95 thing to do. It hasn't been the trend in recent years at all.

It's like wanting to right-align your Help menu or use an INI file to store settings.

You could always add a shortcut the installer that will point/call the setup.exe...make the user think the application was called from the start menu.
