Application does not arrive in Programs and Features after installation

3k Views Asked by At

I have made an installer for website application. It is built successfully, and has entries in registry and IIS. But it was not registered in the Programs and Features for uninstall. I have to manually remove from registry and IIS. What's that I am missing?

If you created a MSI installer, and don't see entry in the "Programs and Features", it means that you enabled the SYSTEMCOMPONENT property (which hides your app there).

To check it, go to the registry and find there you application by GUID: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{YOUR_GUID} and look for SystemComponent key with value 1. If it exists than problem can be solved by disabling or setting this property to value 0 in WiX.
