Disable uninstallation

I have two different projects that are based on a similar project initially.
One doesn't show the uninstall option in Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features and the other does.
For these specific projects we don't want the uninstall option but I can't find any differences in the settings within IA.
Any hints of what I am missing and how I can fix this issue?

Thank you,

I'm not quite sure to follow your question.

Do you want that your packages don't show the UnInstall option from Add Remove Program?

Hi Francesco,
Yes, I don't want to show the uninstall dialog and don't want the app to appear in the Control Panel -> Programs and Features or Add Remove Programs as you describe it.
Thank you,
