Everyone,
In VS.NET does it automatically create an uninstall.exe or
do we have to create an uninstall package and if so how is

Alonzo,

When you create a deployment project, it creates both an installer and an
uninstaller for you.

When I look in the release folder there is no reference to
the uninstall...I see all the other files but not the
uninstall...pls advise and thank you for you help.

I am not sure where the uninstall information is maintained but after you do
the installation, there is an uninstall option available within the
"Add/Remove Programs" control panel tool.

So, the deployment feature doesn't create a uninstall
executable (normally under the program menu in the Start
program group)?, or you have to use the control
panels "Add/Remove tool"?

I believe that is correct (the sample I am looking at is that way). I am not
sure if there is an option in the deployment wizard to add this feature.

Thanks for the info, I guess I will have to do a little
research and find out.
