Add application to installed applications

Hi,
I've this problem.
I have to add my application (which is installed with a particular
installation tool) to the list of installed application to allow users
to uninstall it from Control Panel -> Installed Apllications.

How can I do it?. There are particular scripts to execute, or I have to
modify the register, or whatever else?

Thank you
Alessandro.

There is no 'Installed Applications" section normally in XP. If you are
talking about "Add/Remove Programs", you need to know that the installer
process must have been develop in order to add an entry into this "list".
Most Windows 3.1 type of Windows programs did not support this. Only
starting with Windows 95, Microsoft had requested that software developers
create an installer routine that would permit the users to also un-install
the software. Hence, Add/Remove Programs came into existence.
