Set porgram to add\remove programs list

[cyprus106]

I have a bit of a problem. I need to add executables, (with descriptions, etc.) in the add\remove programs list. I am not trying to add my project... basically, I have an app that is a utility for installing executables to windows. We've got the rest so far, just need to put it on the add\remove programs list. does anyone know how?

thanks, Cyprus

Create a new registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, then create two string values, DisplayName and UninstallString. DisplayName is the name as seen in add/remove programs, and UninstallString is the path to the uninstall program.

For example, the BCB5 uninstall entry is:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\CBuilder5
- DisplayName=
Borland C++ Builder 5
- UninstallString=
C:\WINDOWS\IsUninst.exe -f"C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder5\Uninst.isu" -cC:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\C5UNINST.DLL
