Uninstall shorcut

[Kiki99]

It was created an installer using a deployment project. But how do you include an uninstall option with your installer? I'd like to be able to put a shortcut to the uninstaller in the start menu along with the rest of the stuff I've put there. The idea is that the user shouldn't have to go through add/remove programs to remove the program gracefully. Is there some kind of tool or wizard that does this?

Check through the options when you create the Setup and there should be a checkbox or something similar to create an uninstaller for your program.

There is not any options(checkbox) or something similar to create uninstaller for my program.

There is nothing to generate a seperate uninstall. The same MSI file that installed your app is used to uninstall it. All you have to do is give it a command line option to uninstall, which is /x I think. The command line would look something like this:

msiexec /x MyProduct.msi

All you have to do is create a shortcut to launch that.
