Adding uninstall information with Inno Setup

votes

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 ? – TLama
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! – Andy
Ok; anyway you may find also these directives interesting: AppComments, AppContact, AppPublisher, AppPublisherURL, AppSupportPhone, AppSupportURL and... – TLama
...AppUpdatesURL. So as the plain old website might act the AppPublisherURL, but it's just my guess :-) – TLama
Ah - I don't know why I didn't see the AppSupportURL and the AppUpdatesURL in the script I have. Thanks again - very helpful – Andy

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
