Start menu shortcut to uninstall (P&D Wizard)

Hi all,

This is not a question rather it is a solution for an unresolved problem. I found lot of threads asking about how to add a shortcut to uninstall myApp by Package and Deployment Wizard.

In fact, me too was searching the solution for a couple of days and just half an hour ago found it (obviously with the help of some vbforums threads telling it is not possible)

Simply add a new Startmenu item with the following properties:

Name: Uninstall MyApp
Target: $(WinPath)\ST6UNST.EXE -n "$(AppPath)ST6UNST.LOG"
Start in: $(WinPath)

Now your user can uninstall your application by clicking a shortcut in Start -> Programs -> MyApp.

Thanks.

Thanks. I was searching for this too.

And how do you add a new startmenu item? When i try to add a shortcut int he FIle System view in VS2005, i can only point it to an existing file..

Cheers :)

This is the Classic VB forum, so the solution probably isn't applicable to VB.net.

Obviously it is not. If you see the date of the post, it was in 2002. So, we should not expect it to be working in VS.net R 2005. For a workaround, try the .NET forum :cool:

My bad :) Didnt notice! heh
