Hide setup from \"Add or Remove Programs\" dialog

[zchris]

How can I hide my setup from the "Add or Remove Programs" dialog?

Also how can I hide the modify button in "Add or Remove Programs"?

Thanks!

Its all in the registry.
Depending on All Users or Just Me install, look under HKLM or HKCU.
SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\$TITLE$.

You can delete this key - after Apply Install.

The key is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\$TITLE$ - but otherwise it works perfectly.

Do you know why the setup is also listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\$product_code$?

As always - thanks for the quick reply!

Ah yes of course, sorry I forgot about the uninstall part
It should not be listed under product code...that key is normally removed by InstallAware (or at least, it should not be visible in Add-Remove).
