    Question Adding an application to 'Programs and Features or Add/Remove' list

    Hi all;

    I'm writing an installer via Qt. Is there any way to add the app to Add/Remove programs list in control panel in order to be able to remove it?

    Thanks in advance

    I don't know if Qt offers some class that will automate whole process, mostly because I don't really care about this and never looked for, but You can write it Yourself.
    Main trick is to create registry entry with few required entries plus uninstall application/script whatever You want, to rm all files. You can do this somewhere in Your installer.

    For more details look here:
