Can I create an MSI to uninstall a product?

Sat Dec 13, 2008 12:11 am

Is it possible to create an MSI which will uninstall a product? What I am doing is creating an MSI that installs an application which does not show up in the Add/Remove Programs control panel. But I want to create a way to remove the program by providing an uninstaller for it. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please note that you can create a normal installer which has an Uninstall shortcut. For this installer you can use the "Do not show in list" option in the Product Details page. This way the installation will not be shown in "Add or Remove Programs" and the user will be able to uninstall it.
