Uninstall is performed by the same script as installation, in the maintenance part of the code. Unless you de-activated this in the project settings or modified the default code in a way that breaks uninstall.

Thank you sir for your reply. Yes I've tried according to your guidance and it is worked.

But while I'm clicking the shortcut to uninstall, uninstallation is not started directly rather the typical window is coming prompting three options:

1. Modify
2. Repair
3. Remove

It's really bothering as i've clicked the shortcut to uninstall my programme, isn't it? Sir can you tell me how I will stop prompting this window? I want the uninstallation to start directly.

I've tried using the method , UninstallApplication(), but it also does the same. What should i do?

Regards,

This dialog is displayed by the OnMaintUIBefore event handler. You could modify your shortcut to pass a custom command line parameter to setup.exe. You can pick up this parameter in the CMDLINE system variable. Modify the OnMaintUIBefore function so that it doesn't display the dialog if the command line parameter is set.
Note that you should display the dialog if the parameter is not set. This is the case if your setup is launched from Add/Remove Programs control panel and in this case it should also offer the modify and repair options.
