3. Select to deploy ProgramProject to automatically add reference to the dependency. For example:

Second, use MSI to implement
In the Application folder on the left, add the c: \ windows \ system32 \ msiexec.exefile, which can be changed to uninstall.exe. Then, follow the steps mentioned above to create a shortcut for the file to be detached and paste it to the user's "program" menu.
In step 3, create a folder in the program menu, so put the file in this folder. Otherwise, after the packaged program is installed, in the start-> program list, there are two shortcuts that seem unrelated. To facilitate identification, change the shortcut name to "Uninstall **" and ** to the software name.
Modify the argument attribute value of this shortcut to "/X {productcode}". For details about how to view productcode, see the first method in step 1.
