Uninstall icon


Hi,
how can I define an Unistall Icon in my Programs
Installation Folder of my new deployment project?

Thank You,
Edgar

Hi,

As far as I remember, you will have to include the actual icon file to the
files to be deployed, and then I remember there was a property of the
deployment project called Icon or something similar. Click the "..." button
in the property browser and choose the previously added icon file.

Yes this icons stuff drives me nuts every time I create a new application,
however this seems to be what you are lookig for:

Click on your setup library (usually the lowest in the Solution Explorer).
Then the first option says "AddRemoveProgr amsIcon" - click on the arrow.

If this doesn't do the job

Click on the name of your application (second from the top in the Solution
Explorer, the one with the first - in front). Then click on the right hand
pictogram immediately above. Then you'll see the "Property Pages", and
you'll see "Applicatio n Icon".

Hope this helps.

Hello, I'm having some problems installing Visual Studio 2005. I'll briefly explain what's the history of the problem here. First I installed VS 2005 beta 2.
