If you mean you have installed VB 2008 Express, then Setup and
Deployment project type (installer) is not available. You need to use
the purchased version of visual studio to create an installer/unistaller
package.

There are free installer package kits that others have used however. I
do not recall the names of those products though.

If you have Express which has no template for "Setup and Deployment
Project", you can also consider deploying it with ClickOnce using
"Publish" tab of project properties. When you publish the application
to local file system, it can be uninstalled using Add/Remove programs
menu.

....another option can be using such tools like InnoSetup,
InstallShield (paid)...

In addition to the other replies: Adding uninstall icons to the start
menu is really out of fashion.
