How to include "Uninstall" ability when creating an installer project in .Net's &

Hi guys, I'm creating an installer in .Net 2003's "Setup Project" and I need to know how to include the functionality that will allow the user to unistall the program. I need to set it up like most programs with a link to the uninstaller in the program menu. Is the best way to do this to create on uninstaller.exe and place a link to that exe that the user can access? If so, how do you do that in .Net's "Setup Project"? I've looked and I can't seem to figure out create an uninstaller in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

This question is better suited for the Visual C++ General forum, or one of the newsgroups (http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups). This forum is for language related questions only.

I seem to recall using msiexec's /uninstall parameter and refer to the package guid to hack such functionality together at some point, but I really can't tell if that's the best way to do it. You're more likely to get good answers in the other forums / newsgroups.
