I made my setup disk using APP wizard of is6.2 . I have two questions now.
1. How to add an Uninstall menu in the Start/Program/MyApp menu?
2. I tried installation in several computers, and i found in some machines there is no icon appeared in the Add/Remove Application of Control Panel. How to resovle it?
Thanks!

Hi,

1. To add an uninstall entry to Start Menu:
go to the Resources pane of the InstallShield IDE and create a new shortcut under "Start Menu" -> "Programs" -> <YourApp>. Assign the "target" entry the whole uninstall string that InstallShield wrote into the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{guid_of_yourapp>}
UninstallString = "<uninstall_string>"

2. To make an icon appear in the Add/Remove panel:
write an additional entry into the registry (the uninstall key; see above):
DisplayIcon = "<exe_or_dll_where_to_take_the_icon_from>"
