Welcome to TSDN. You don't know how to uninstall your application? Does it show in the list of program installed?

Yes it is shown in the program list. I want to uninstall my application automatically. Not manually from (controll panel-->Add Remove). just clicking uninstall in the user's program menu. Actually I want to create an uninstaller. For this purpose what i have to do.

Launch the same MSI used to install it. It will take care of uninstallation.

If you want it in the start menu, that's pretty easy too:;

Dude, take a look at the vb code, it is very easy to convert to C# since it's all in .NET
