Cleanup on removal of dot net managed program

Question

I would like to remove some registry entries when my program is uninstalled. Is there a way to do this directly from within Visual Studio 2008? Other way? I am creating the installer using the Publish Wizard. ty

The feature you're looking for are custom actions. They allow you to do pretty much anything on install and uninstall of your product.
