How to uninstall the deployment by the user

Ray
Dear all,
Now, I have to go to the control panel to remove the installed deployment
manually. Is there any method to generate an uninstall exe for the user to
remove the deployment?
Thanks a lot,
Ray

Hi Ray,

Surely your setup package already contains the uninstall functionality which
by default is called from the Control Panel. Most setups generators allow
you to create a shortcut to it in the Start menu. Check the docs of your
setup generator.

Do you want to add an uninstall link to the start menu?

Although this is not recommended, the following thread may lead you into the
