I created a basic installer. It takes a file from c:\temp.log and copy it

  • 0

I created a basic installer.
It takes a file from c:\temp.log and copy it to a directory that is being read from registry.
Where is the un-installer ? How does it add link to Windows “Add remove programs” ?

What am i missing here?
On install i need to copy the file and then to stop/start a certain service.
On Un-install i need to remove that file+folder and then to stop/start a certain service.

Thanks

    The listing in Add/Remove programs is whatever Name you specified in the Product tag. In your case, the name in Add/Remove programs is install:

    <Product Id="325c4bfd-6614-43e9-aedb-93661295352d" Name="install"
