Cannot Uninstall from Control Panel
I have a InstallScript project that I have created. I can install it but cannot uninstall it.
I have to click on the exe file to be able to remove it. When I click on the program in control panel it does nothing.
What do I need to put in InstallScript for this to work?

I'm assuming this is an InstallScript-only project and not InstallScript MSI. If that is the case the above link, very last reply, should be what you want.
With InstallScript-only projects you miss out on all that MSI provides for you to take advantage of, so things like automatic uninstalls don't always apply to all types.
