title: how-to: programmatic install on windows?
body: <p>Can anyone list the steps needed to programatically install an application on Windows. Aside from copying the files where they need to be, what are the additional steps needed so that your app will be a first-class citizen in Windows (i.e. show up in the programs list, uninstall list...etc.)</p>
  
  <p>I tried to google this, but had no luck.</p>
  
  <p>BTW: This is for an unmanaged c++ application (developed in Qt), so I'd rather not involve the .net framework if I don't have to.</p>
