    Exclamation Shortcut to unistall - Possible

    Hi all,
    Lately I have seen quiet a few posts asking for how to create a shortcut to uninstall a program in the program group. The replies mostly were NOT POSSIBLE. So I tried tinkering a bit with various settings a PDW gives. I chanced upon (it is not even discover!) a simple way even without getting out of PDW.
    All u have to do is create a new item in the Start Menu Items window and name it say Uninstall, then click on the properties of the uninstall item and add this line
    C:\WINDOWS\st6unst.exe -n "$(appPath)ST6UNST.LOG"
    . Please also ensure that the start in is set to $(winPath). This is all required!
    Let the experts decide if this method is correct.
    goodluck...
    THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING MY CONTRIBUTION AND RATING ME!

    I would say that the best thing is to not use the Package and Deployment Wizard, but to use Inno Setup.
    This gives you much more flexibility in your install/uninstall operations.
