Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel

By using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, you can perform a number of tasks--primarily, the task of installing an application from local media, such as a CD-ROM or floppy disk; a defined Active Directory location, for an assigned and published application on a corporate network; or the Internet. You can also use Add or Remove Programs to remove or modify an existing application or to repair a damaged application.

Add or Remove Programs also offers the following features:

  • Provides users with a single user interface for managing and maintaining their programs.

  • Supports the installation of programs when a user has the program package (on local media), as well as installation from either a corporate or an Internet environment.

  • Exposes the Windows Installer component while maintaining support for other installation technologies.
