One method would be to remove the uninstall entry for your app from the registry.
You can find the individual entries under the following key:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall

Delete the key pertaining to the application you want to hide from the Add/Remove programs dialog.

You may want to export and save the info in a .REG file prior to deleting in case you want to allow the user to uninstall the app at a later date.

There is a freeware program you can do this with. It makes editing the registry much easier. It is called x-setup. Go to xteq.com if you want to find out more about it.
