Custom icon in Windows Add/Remove Programs list

Hi all,
I am developing a software with Labview 2011/2012.
When I am creating an installer for my application I am configuring icon section and I can see my icon in windows All programs section.
And I want to see this icon also in windows Control Panel/Programs and Features section. In the list of installed applications my application is without an icon I have specified.
Anybody faced with this issue? Have any idea how to figure out this?
I have also found some thread about this, but I am wondering if some new experience available since this post.

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I can't seem to come up with any other way.
But for the product ID try these steps.
To determine the value of ProductID:
Open the setup.ini file that was created with the installer.
Near the bottom, in the install.msi section, there is a key called ProductId.
The value of ProductId should be substituted in the registry key chain listed above.

Web Start Polluting Windows "Add / Remove Programs" List

I just had to go in and delete 30+ webstart demo programs from my "Add / Remove List".
Is there a way to prevent Web Start from doing this?

Photoshop CC & CS6 doesn't appear in Windows Add/Remove programs

I have 2 versions of Photoshop on my Windows 7 Pro system. CS6 I own outright and I subscribe to CC as part of a larger suite from Adobe. I prefer CS6 and have been trying to associate .TIF files to CS6, but it won't let me. It keeps reverting to CC, no matter what I do. I decided to uninstall CC (even tho I'm paying a monthly fee for it), but the programs do not appear in Windows Add/Remove programs screen. In a search of the registry, I find HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Uninstall a very long list of the program available for uninstall, and buried in some obscure Microsoft VC headings are some Adobe programs. There are no uninstallers in the Adobe program directories, so I can't uninstall these no matter what I try. Neither Dreamweaver or Flash appear in Add/remove either. Is this natural? Is there some problem I'm not aware of? Thanks for any help and info.

Thank you. That solved that problem. I still can't get Windows 7 to associate TIF files to Photoshop. It's associated to it in Bridge, but when I try in Windows control panel, the file shows as being associated to Paint. When I try to change it, Photoshop is not even on the list of available programs. When I Browse to the directory and click Photoshop.exe, nothing happens. The association doesn't change and Photoshop does not appear as a choice. So I have no idea what to try next.

Enumerate Add/Remove programs list in Control Panel

Here is a vi to read the Add/Remove programs list from the registry. My Add/remove programs list contains an item that uses a really large font (something like 98 font size). This makes it impossible to see the program name and select it for add/remove. I think I have it narrowed down to an Autocad program, but I'm not sure how to change the font size yet. This vi will list the display name in control panel, the uninstall string, and the registry subkey. Thought this might be useful for someone. It is 7.0 format.

Hi,
I'm missing programs in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs (Windows 7 Ultimate CZ). I've noticed it yesterday. I've been googling for several hours but I haven't found a solution. There are many discussion about the problem, but none of them helped.
Can Microsoft people resolve the bug?

ITunes nor iPod Updater is listed in Add/Remove Programs

Please help! The Ipod updator nor iTunes is listed in the add/remove programs list. Can you help? Is it safe to delete the iTunes folder in program files and just reinstall?

hi Bryce!
when you find yourself in this situation, first download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and use it to remove installation registry entries for your Quicktime, iTunes and Ipod Updater:

CS4 No longer in Add/Remove Programs

I installed CS4 Master Collection on my computer and had a lot of problems with it, so I decided to wipe it from my system and start over. This wasn't happening for me as it said the software was damaged.
I did a bit of research online and found that I could install a file from Adobe called CleanUp, which seemed to work at first, so I checked into the Add/Remove Programs to see if it was still installed. It was in the list, so I thought Adobe CleanUp didn't work so I tried again to uninstall from Add/Remove programs - It just popped up a message saying the software may have been already uninstalled, would I like to remove it from the Add/Remove Programs list, so I selected Yes.
But after a final check to see if CS4 really had gone, I went into the directory I first installed CS4 to, the files were still there (note: I have a custom install folder other than C:\Program Files, I save software installations to D:\Programs as my HD is partitioned and I use Vista which takes up a lot of space and the C:\ drive hardly has any to begin with, I know I know, but it came like that from the manufacturer).
So now, I can't uninstall CS4, manually or through Add/Remove Programs. I even tried to install CS4 again to see if it would just write over the current installation, but that wasn't happening for me. If anyone has any ideas or advice what I can do, that'd be great. If there is absolutely no way I can remove it, would deleting the CS4 folder cause any problems, especially as I reverted back to CS2 (the only other CS version I have right now).

It's a really mix to remove the CS4, in my personal opinion you probably have two options.
1. to try to install the suite again a remove it
2. to manually remove the folder where you install the software and through register remove from the list of add/remove software the unusable entrance for Adobe CS4
a) run the utility regedit.exe
b) if I'm not in a mistake it should be localized in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\windows\curren version\uninstall\
b.1) look arround the name that appear in the hives and just remove such which will be for the adobe CS4
Take a look also in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247501 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481
But first than all I recommend try to install again the suite a remove it.
by the way I hope your experience with Clean Script does not turn in a nightmare like in my case, which after running it, some links to re reference got damage as the help of MS office does not work anymore because xml files is not related to the right program or the starting of software like Windows Defender.
Good Luck

Firefox is not available in C:\Program Files and in Add/Remove Programs

I am trying to run an Oracle application which is currently installed in one of our user's PCs, but when we try to generate a report it would fail to do so as Mozilla Firefox is installed on the system and I believe it is set as the default browser. I tried to uninstall it as it is not required anymore, but to my shock I didn't find it in Add\Remove Programs list and also not in C:\Program Files. I tried installed Windows Clean-Up utility, but the application doesn't exist there either. I want to remove Mozilla completely, can someone please help?!! By the way, I also deleted the Mozilla files under the Application Data of all user accounts on that machine; still no luck.

I believe that it's a good idea to leave them be JUST in case they installed a dependency that a new application is using.
This isn't exactly likely but it could happen.
When I'm uninstalling applications I use a tool called
Revo Uninstaller which finds files and registry entries that applications might leave behind.
Will your machine explode and Windows stop booting? Probably not.
Are these left-over files destroying your Hard Drive capacity? Again, Probably not.
Basically, I can't think of much of a reason to delete them so I think it's decent to leave them just in case, but again it probably wont do any damage. Running an third-party application like
CCleaner is also good practice and could likely delete some of the unwanted/unneeded files and crud like that.
Also, most application settings are usually present in the C:\Users\UserAccount\Application Data\ and not in the Program Files or Program Data.
Goodluck bud,
Any questions or concerns feel free to let me know.

Acrobat 9.2.0 MSP doesn't display in add/remove programs

I installed the Acrobat 9.2 MSP and it shows successful installation but it doesn't show Acrobat 9.2.0 in add/remove programs. It still shows Acrobat 9.0.0. Any reason why this would do this?

Okay, found the solution--I think. Fire up Acrobat, go to Help/Repair Acrobat Installation. After a LONG bit of disk-bashing, the process ends and Acrobat then shows up in the add/remove programs list.
I may just keep the program around a bit longer now, now that I'm not quite as paranoid about it as I was.
Ugh.

Remove labview 2009 without using add/remove program

Hi all,
I have problem with removing LabVIEW 2009.
I have deleted some folders in C drive, NI folder.
Now I can't run my LabVIEW 2009 and it doesn't show up in my add/remove program list.
I tried to delete all folder and files in C drive under NI folder, but error message pop out shows that I do not have the authority to do so.
So, how can I remove it completely ?
I intended to reinstall LabVIEW 2009 after I have removed it completely.
Appreciate your help very much.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That is why I say try to reinstall LabVIEW. It might just do a repair of your installation. Then you can use add/remove programs to completely uninstall it.
But when you completely uninstall it there will be NI folders remaining. These are things like user.lib.
Have you tried to reinstall the runtime engine?
One last thing. I don't know how you got your install so messed up but remember that if you build an installer you should not install that onto a system with the development environment. There are so many things that can go wrong.

I want to uninstall but it does not appear in Add/Remove Programs

I use Firefox 2.0.0.12. When I accessed today I was aked to install an update, now the thing won't even start up. Message is "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. " I have been on your help site and am told to uninstall it, but it does not appear in Add/Remove Programs list. How can I uninstall it?

I found an uninstall file in the Mozilla firefox program files and successfully uninstalled the old version of firefox. I have now installed v3.6.13 and all seems OK. Does anyone anticipate any other problems?

Trying to remove the ultimas games toolbar and can't find reference to it in the add/remove programs in the control panel.

A toolbar "ultimate games" has appeared on firefox; I can't find any reference to it in the control panel "add/remove programs" list. How can I get rid of it?

I followed the instructions but when I got to highlighting the ultimate games extension, there was no removal button, only an "enable" button. I really want to remove it altogether. So what can I do?

Equivalent to "Add/Remove Programs" aka "Programs and Features" Controls???

WHEN will Apple finally get around to adding an equivalent thing to Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" (XP) aka "Programs and Features" (Vista) Control Panel???
I am looking to uninstall some software from my computer. But only God knows where the installer has stashed files all over my drive! I don't want to leave behind a single preferences file or extension.
Is there some easy way in Mac to do this? In Windows you just go to "Add/Remove Program" and you can uninstall every last shred or trace of that software. But in the Mac... there's about four or five major places to look, but how can you know if it installed something in a hidden directory in the Unix directories somewhere??

drdocument, I respectfully, completely disagree with you.
The average Mac user has no clue as to what the Library folder is for. Nor would they be able to sort through it all to find the five locations where the tons of crap might be stored.
Lets take several examples. Here's some programs that I have installed that are quite typical of Mac users:
Garage Band
iTunes
Adobe CS3
Microsoft Office
NONE of these programs can be deleted easily. Garbage Band stores its garbage in numerous unintuitive places:
/Users/me/Music/Garageband
/Library/Audio/Plug-ins
/Library/Application Support/Garage Band/
/Users/me/Library/Preferences/
Further, it's not always clear whether the files you are deleting are used by just one application, or multiple applications from that same company (or even other companies). I often feel unsure if I'm deleting something from /Library/Audio/Plug-ins or /Library/Application Support/Adobe because... is it used only by Photoshop? What if I just wanted to uninstall InDesign and I no longer have the original install disk because, lets say, I sold it?
It should not fall upon the user to play sleuth and hunt down the myriad places that these apps store things on the drive!!!
There should be an EASY Control Panel in System Preferences that lets you uninstall any program off your drive. I seriously don't think that this would hamper application development or make the system run slower or be kludgy. Besides, when has Apple ever taken the path of making things harder on users because they were afraid by making it easier, it would slow down the computer???
If anything the opposite has always been true.
Even a shareware app that just has one application file and no other files on the drive should be able to be uninstalled with confidence by a control panel. Since, how do you KNOW it didn't put another file somewhere, even a preferences file? God only knows how many preferences files are on my drive that I don't need because they never got erased when I uninstalled the app. It would take me days to comb through that mess, especially since the arcane and unintuitive preference file naming scheme used by OS X does not use plain english but rather uses ridiculous un-Mac-like names like "com.unsanity.hoseyoursystem.preference"... whatever happened to "Microsoft Word Preferences" and "Adobe Photoshop Preferences" -- nice Mac-like filenames?!?!??!
I'm tired of the PC-ization of the Mac, the further and further making it more complicated, having apps store more crap in more different places. Having multiple Library folders is just a nightmare from an ease-of-use standpoint, though I know it's necessary for a multi-user OS. But there ought to be a way to have a "single-user" mode that would eliminate the Users directory all together and just store everything at the root level of the HD, rather than having all my documents buried 10 levels deep into the drive.
Anyway the point is you are wrong. The way it is set up makes it harder on users -- even seasoned users like me -- when we want to cleanly uninstall an application with confidence. It means tons of extra time sifting through the labrynthine unix crap. I hate it! Where has "user friendly" gone??
Besides I would never trust a third-party shareware program to uninstall things. How would i know that it knew what to do? Plus it adds extra expense to the OS, for a feature that has been standard on Windows for what seems like 10 years!
When will we finally get this feature? 2020?
