Uninstall app

[Neil Steventon]

I have packaged an application and it appears in the programs menu - which
is great.
How do you create an uninstall routine, Id like an Icon like a recycle bin
that the user can click that uninstalls my app. Any help would be great
thanks.

That's IMO not a good idea. All application setup operations should be
performed over the "Software" control panel, and the program menu should not
be messed up with uninstall entries...

Neil,

Never thought about this, can be a good idea, although basicly is Herfried
of course right, has the uninstaller in my opinon at this moment some
strange behaviours.

But you know what you set in the the register, you know where you set the
programs, you know the name, so what is the question with this?

The only thing that is extra that you have to do is remove the uninstall
information from the registry.
