Using Labview we can create an installer what i would want in an uninstaller.

Every time we develop an application and create installer using labview build specificationsto remove the application we have to use windows Add/Remove Program utility.

Is there any way to create a shortcut under {program folder} menu to launch the uninstaller for build?

You might be able to use "setup.exe /u" - I've seen installation programs that use the /u to indicate uninstall, so try creating a shortcut to the original steup.exe with the /u switch.

You can try the /u parameter, but I didn't see any support for it when looking at some internal references. Also if you don't have access to the setup.exe file for some reason after installing, this wouldn't work.

Another thing you could try is installing a shortcut file configured to launch Add/Remove programs. It's not ideal but it saves you some mouse clicks.

  • Right-click on your desktop
  • Choose "New" then choose "Shortcut"
  • In the command line that appears type (or paste) control.exe appwiz.cpl
  • Give it a name (whatever you like)

  • Click "Finish" and you're done
