Hello Guys,

I'm using setup and Deployment Project in MSVS2005 to make an installer for my application. I did a primitive installer and managed to have the .msi file.

I found that after installing the application using the .msi file the uninstaller file not included in the application directory.

I thought the uninstaller should implicitly be included within the the package.

How can I include that?

Thanks,

You need to add it. Provide a code for it's inclusion such that it is visible in Shortcut menu too.

Have a look at these:

Solution 1

Try having a look to the Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel: the Microsoft Installer put there an entry for the Uninstaller...

Yes, I know that but I want the uninstaller to be in the application directory in Program files and Start menu folder. I don't want my users to uninstall my application from the control panel. Like any application in start menu. You can either uninstall it from uninstall icon within application directory or from control panel.
