Lanc1988 Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 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? Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted February 25, 2004 Administrators Posted February 25, 2004 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 Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
Lanc1988 Posted February 26, 2004 Author Posted February 26, 2004 But I want to be able to add an Uninstall Program file to their startmenu Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted February 27, 2004 Administrators Posted February 27, 2004 Is there a problem with using the control panel? If so then you will probably have to use a 3rd party tool. Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
gabru Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 hmm also wanted to do the same. just interested if there will be a solution without a third party tool/component. Quote sometimes I blog... http://michal.grafix.at
*Gurus* divil Posted March 7, 2004 *Gurus* Posted March 7, 2004 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. Quote MVP, Visual Developer - .NET Now you see why evil will always triumph - because good is dumb.

ehelin Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 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. Quote
