I created windows application with c# and setup project that will install application.

For uninstallation i am using batch file which contains following code

MsiExec.exe /x [productcode]

while uninstallation it shows command window and it's looks bad.

How can i hide command window or Suggest any other way to uninstall application

Thanks

Did you mean you added a shortcut to the batch file? What I meant was add a shortcut to your output exe (from the setup project) with a /u argument. Then from within your Main method, you must handle the /u arg (to uninstall) like the one in the article.

Thanks for reply.

I have already add shortcut to that batch file and it is uninstalling application from computer but shows command window behind uninstallation

Have you already tried adding an uninstall shortcut to your setup project like the one in this article -> Add an uninstall start menu item to your .NET deployment project

Though I'm not sure if it will also show the command window. It's worth a try if you haven't done that yet.
