Uninstall doesn't remove program entry in Add/Remove program
Hi,
I am having a InstallScript MSI project & using InstallShield 2009 pro, i have created a shortcut in program's menu for uninstallation. When i try to uninstall using this shortcut, the application uninstalls but entry in Add/ Remove program is not deleted.
For my uninstall shortcut, properties in InstallShield, Arguments= /x {C7E741B6-38C3-453C-9D60-43BC8FEF6C9A} which is same as Product Code. Target = [SystemFolder]msiexec.exe

This is not the correct command line for uninstalling an InstallScript MSI. Take a look at the UninstallString in the InstallShield_{productcode} key under the Uninstall key for the right one. Alternately consider omitting this shortcut as current practices recommend against uninstall shortcuts.
