If you register the uninstallation program for any custom components that you include in your Windows® Internet Explorer® 9 package, your users will be able to remove those components later by using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.
To register the uninstallation program for a custom program, during the component setup process, your application must add the entries listed below to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ApplicationName
This registry key is also used by Internet Explorer Setup to verify that the component installed successfully.
| Subkey | Data type | Value |
|---|---|---|
DisplayName |
String |
Friendly name of the application. |
UninstallString |
String |
Complete command line (including path) for uninstalling the application. Do not use a batch file or a subprocess. |
The value of ApplicationName must also match the value of Uninstall Key on the Custom Components page in the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 9.
