I have a home screen plugin that initially was developed for Smartphone 2003,
but now runs on bot S2003 and WM5.

The app installs and runs without any problems on all systems, but on the
Windows Mobile 5 system it is not listed in the "Remove Programs" page and
cannot be uninstalled.

This works OK on the Smartphone 2003.
This works OK on the Windows Mobile 5 emulator(!)

In the migration faq, Microsoft states that the uninstall information is
moved from HKLM\Software\Apps to the "UnInstall Configuration Service
Provider". They do not mention that the installation package needs to be
changed in any way, they only say the "developers should query..." when they
need information about installed programs.

What do I need to do to my installation CAB in order to have the installed
program visible on the "Remove Programs" page on Windows Mobile 5 systems?

The item in the migration FAQ doesn't apply to what you're doing.

This is weird though... can you send mail to wmdevmig@microsoft.com and
attach your CAB so we can check it out?
