Add / Remove Programs

[markstaylor]

Does any one know how to get your program to be listed in the Add / Remove programs utility in Windows when installing it to a harddrive.

Thanks

I was going to recommend the same thing Mark. Nice little mock installer you had there

I know exactly

If you use Setupfactory to create an installation wizard, it will add it to the add/remove. BUt if you want ot add it by hand use the registries...add a key to this directory for example...
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\MyApps]

But you must add sub keys to the registries like this...
"DisplayName"="My Apps"
"NoModify"=dword:00000001
"NoRepair"=dword:00000001
"Publisher"="Your Publisher"
"Contact"="Your contact"
"DisplayVersion"="2.3"
"DisplayIcon"="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\My Apps\\uninstall.exe\""

just change My Apps, publisher and contact name to your Name of the product you would like to have...and don't forget the directory for your icon. Good luck...
