u can uninstall a program with this command...

msiexec /x package.msi

I'm having a very frustrating time with the .NET installer project. I
can't make it uninstall a previous installation succsessfully. I also
need to create an uninstall icon in the program group and can't figure out
how to do that.

Do any of you know a site where I might find some tips on using the .NET
installer?

What other installer (if any) integrate into VS2005 as well? Does
Installshield work well with .net assemblies and VS2005?

Thanks for any pointers!
