Make a Setup Project or publish with the ClickOnce system.

Definitely use a proper installer if it is your own program you are trying to install/add as Jenner suggests, but if you are for some reason wanting to add just any program you like to the Add/Remove Programs list then you just need to create registry key in this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (name the new key anything you like but generally best to name it with the name of the program) and then within that new key create two REG_SZ type registry entries. One named DisplayName and one named UninstallString. DisplayName should hold the name that you want to appear in Add/Remove Programs and UninstallString should hold the full path to the EXE that will uninstall this program. There are other values you can add, DisplayVersion for example, but those two are the only essentials.
