Adding uninstall information with Inno Setup

Question

I'm using Inno Setup to create an installer for my program but I want to be able to add an icon and change some of the information displayed in the Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs).

I know that Inno Setup adds a registry key to get the program listed in the first place so I wondered if this could be extended in any way so that, at the least, my icon is displayed in the list!

If I get it right you meant how to change the icon and display name in the Add/Remove program list, but what is the third information ? What did you meant with the change some of thre inform displayed in the Control Panel ? – Monkery

As you'll guess, you are right about the icon and display name. What you quoted was a typo but see my comment on your answer to see what I meant! – Perennate

Ok; anyway you may find also these directives interesting: AppComments, AppContact, AppPublisher, AppPublisherURL, AppSupportPhone, AppSupportURL and... – Monkery

...AppUpdatesURL. So as the plain old website might act the AppPublisherURL, but it's just my guess :-) – Monkery

Ah - I don't know why I didn't see the AppSupportURL and the AppUpdatesURL in the script I have. Thanks again - very helpful – Perennate

Answer 1

To change the icon displayed in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet program list specify the UninstallDisplayIcon directive in the [Setup] section.

[Setup]
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\Application.exe

If you want to specify a custom name for the program's entry in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet then specify the UninstallDisplayName directive also in the [Setup] section.

[Setup]
UninstallDisplayName=Custom name shown in Add/Remove Programs applet

Thanks TLama, that is exactly what I wanted. It works perfectly. The only other thing that I wouldn't mind changing but it's not too important is the web links in the uninstall information. I don't really need the 'Support Link' or the 'Update Information' website. Just a plain old 'website' would be good – Perennate

You don't have that much control over the Add/Remove applet. You're limited by what Windows offers to show. – Honeyed
