授予管理员卸载程序的权限

Question

I want to delete a registry key while uninstall the program. It can be done when run the visual studio as administrator and uninstalling using visual studio. But it doesn't happen, if I uninstall it using control panel. So is there any way to delete registry key while uninstalling the program.

You'll need to have an application manifest and just change the "requestedExecutionLevel" to Admin like below.

 <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />

This is based on if you've made the installer as a seperate application. Also, when uninstalling, it will request for confirmation with a UAC popup.
