Is it possible to include a Silverlight (3) out-of-browser application to the add-or-remove programs list?

The intention is to be able to remove the OOB application that way (not just by right-clicking from within the running app)?

If the OOB app is installed with a shortcut to the desktop and you try to delete the shortcut you are presented with the standard 'you are just deleting a shortcut if you want to delete the application go to add or remove programs' dialog. I want to tidy up this inconsistency.

Yes, that's a standard feature - you don't have to do anything - if you take a look under Add/Remove programs you should see that your application is there already.

  • Am looking at my first sample/demo app for OOB (Enhanced Movie -Elephants Dream) but it's not in Add/Remove Progams. Unless VERY incorrectly named. Is it configurable anywhere? – Matt Lacey Apr 21 '10 at 12:38
  • Have tried several apps now and no entry is apprearing in the add or remove list (even after restart) on XP. Any ideas? – Matt Lacey Apr 27 '10 at 12:54
