I have a windows forms application and a companion setup project. How do I
modify this setup project to ensure that an uninstall option appears in the
relevant folder in the Start Menu, like other applications have?

You can create a shortcut of "msiexec.exe"

run "msiexec /?" can prompt the help window.
