Please HELP! Problems when creating an Installer for my program. [Resolved]

Please help!

I created a Installer, for my program (Invoice System) that I developed, using Visual Studio .NET's Setup and Deployment Projects.

I have 2 questions here...

Question 1:
I this Installer project, I added a Registry using Registry Editor. The registry is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Bert's Software\Invoice System\UserName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Bert's Software\Invoice System\Company

I also added a Customer Information interface using User Interface Editor.

I want to make this: when user install this program (Invoice System), the user will enter their User Name and Company in the Customer Information interface. I want the User Name and Company to be stored in the registry that I created above. How can I do so?


Question 2:
By default, after installing this program, this program is added in the Add/Remove Program list in Control Panel, so that users can uninstall this program from there.
If I want to add a Uninstall shortcut for this program in the Start -> Programs menu, under Invoice System folder, so that users can uninstall this program from the shortcut, how can I do so?

Please guide. Thank you!

If you add a Register User dialog to your setup project it allows you to launch an executable.

Create another project (and add it to your solution) that gets the user's details and writes them to the registry. You can then get the installer to run the executable associated with this project.

The above is all from memory, but I did get it to work some time in the past.
