How to prevent application to show in ADD REMOVE Panel

In some cases, we need to hide the appearance of our product in Add or Remove Programs. 


Basic Msi Projects:
For Basic Msi Projects, we have a property named "ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT". By setting this Windows Installer Property to 1 in the Property Manager, we could achieve this task. By setting this property, we simply suppress the display of our product in Add or Remove Programs. An end user can still remove our product by running the installation in maintenance mode or from the command line. 


Installscript Msi Projects:
To prevent our product from appearing in the Add or Remove Programs, select Yes for the Hide Add/Remove Panel Entry setting in the Releases view.
