Let’s say I have a simple program: SomeProgram.exe and Uninstaller.exe those programs are in C:\ProgramFiles\MyProgram along with several dll’s and resources.

Anyways I have a simple installer that installs several prerequisites to that path. Now my question is how can I register SomeProgram.exe on window registry so that I can have it appear in add or remove programs in control panel. I will like to execute Uninstaller.exe when the user clicks on remove my program. Also I will like to create a folder on windows startup menu so that the user can start the program from there in case he does not want to have a shortcut on the desktop.

    All you need to do is to create the registry entries as documented in the second link from “sergmat”. This will make the program to appear in the list from Control Panel.
