Hi! Ilya,
Thank you for the responding. I did not have the "Uninstall"entry but after
I modified the INI file I did not see any entry in the registry like MSDN
specifies:

"String that identifies the application's Windows Uninstall registry key
name. This name must match the application's registered Windows Uninstall key
name, which is found in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\Uninstall registry key"

I did not see a any entry there for my app. I did find an entry at:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps\<appname>

I put the same <appname> in the "Uninstall" entry in the INI file. Am I
putting the right value for this entry? Is there anything else I should be
doing?

Thanks again for your time.
Regards,
Kumar
