Default Creating Installer package

If you use the Windows installer then removing the program is done from the
Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs (or equivalent in Vista). You don't have
to do anything special. If this is a VSTO addin you need the various custom
actions listed in the deployment article for VSTO.

Outlook 2003 addins don't support ClickOnce, so just add a setup project to
your addin project and configure the setup project to produce your
installer.
