Add shortcut to uninstall

Max

Hello,

When a project is deployed, is there a way to add a shortcut in the user's
programs menu that will launch the uninstall routine for the application?
Where is this uninstall file located when the project is installed?

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. I uninstalled it later via the Windows Uninstall Tool you can download. Then I installed Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition ENU. This was a trial version for 180 days.
