Creating uninstaller for my WPF application

Question

Hi all,

I have a WPF application, with a project to creating an installer for it. Any suggestions on how to create the corresponding uninstaller? The Visual Studio doesn't seem to have an easy way to do it.

Thanks!

There are many ways u can achieve it using uninstall command or better 

Create A text file with following code

---------------------------------------Code start here

Dim shell, systempath

set shell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )

systempath = shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%SystemRoot%")

shell.Run Chr(34) & systempath & "\system32\msiexec.exe" & Chr(34) & "  /x{Your product Code}"

WScript.Quit

---------------------------------------------------Code end here------------------------------

Save it as a Uninstall.vbs

Add it to your install fileSystem (dont forget to replace your product code.

Add a shortcut and lets name it Uninstall.

Add target of the shortcut to this file from ur file system.

So when u click this uninstall shortcut it will uninstall ur application using this script
