4:制作完成

【续】关于"卸载"功能的添加
上面的文章只介绍了简单的生成安装的方法,
但是在vs.net2005下并没有直接生成卸载程序的功能,
所以我们只好用msi来实现了,
原理我就不讲了,网上一搜一堆,我只讲操作,
【1】：在添加你的应用程序项目的时候，多添加一个msiexec.exe进去,
这个文件在c:\windows\system32文件夹下,
添加进去以后,为了让他更像个卸载程序,把他的名字改成"Uninstall.exe",
当然这个关系不大,改不改都行的.
然后给他创建一个快捷方式,放到桌面或者"开始-程序"中,
我选择放在了开始菜单中,然后下面我们要的做的就是查找这个部署项目的ProductCode了,
鼠标左键单击项目名称,记住是左键单击,然后点击属性标签,注意:不是右击的属性,
这个区别很大,这时你就可以看到ProductCode了,
然后打开你创建的那个快捷方式的属性对话框,
在Aguements属性中输入"/x {ProductCode}",
好了,然后点击"生成解决方案"即可生成带有卸载功能的安装程序了.
