Hi ARP is controlled by the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{Your ProductCode} What ever is in the UninstallString entry within this key will be what gets run when you click Remove in ARP (usually this will be 'msiexec /x{Your ProductCode}' There are some options you can play around with in InstallShields 'General Information > Add or Remove Programs' section but these are limited to that of what is allowed to be changed by Windows Installer. If adjusting these don't give your the behaviour you want then a way around it is to create a new uninstall registry key with the minimum entries of 'DisplayName' & 'UninstallString' and supress the original Windows Installer entry from appearing in ARP Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[ProductName] String Entries: DisplayName = "[ProductName]" UinstallString = "[INSTALLDIR]setupfolder\setup.exe" To supress the Windows Installer default ARP entry, add a property ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1 to the MSI. The only issue with the above method is that you would need to have setup.exe in a permanently accessible location to the user. An uninstall string of UnistallString = "msiexec /i {Your ProductCode}" might be a safer bet.
