distribute an Labwindows app with uninstall icon in start>>programs

[naderus]

Hello,

I'd like to know is it possible to distribute a Labwindows application with uninstall icon in start>>programs section to easily unstall the program.

Thanks.

Hey naderus,

I found this Developer Zone Article regarding the creation and customization of Windows Installers using LabWindows/CVI.  I hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks I read the this article before but I can't find a way to add unistall options in start>>programs in Files tab.

I want the user can uninstall the program in start >> programs menu not should go to the control panel.

Best Regards.

While I know it does not help you achive your objective, I'm quite sure I read somewhere that putting the uninstall item on the Start Menu and not in the Add/Remove Programs panel is contrary to some Windows standards or certification requirements.  If I can find the reference, I'll post back.

See section F1.1 here.  It is just a recommendation that we should expect in future versions (Vista?).

As for your needs, I'm sure you have your reasons.  I can only suggest researching the command line syntax for msiexec.exe; hopefully someone else can chime in here ...

Good luck.
