You'll need to start by being more precise about what you're talking about.

There is a Visual Basic 2008 Express, which is one of the free versions
of Visual Studio (each of the free versions is language-specific). Is
that what you mean by "Visual Basic 2008"?

There is also a project category in Visual Studio that can create a
Setup project for your application. It does not create .bat files;
rather, it creates an actual Setup program that will install your
program, set up Start menu items, Desktop shortcuts, etc.

Are you creating one of these so that users can install your
application? If not, how are your users installing the program, and why
are you doing it that way instead of using a Setup project?

If you are correctly creating a Setup project in your Solution, it
should by default install an "Uninstall" shortcut in the program's Start
menu folder. Which seems to be what you are asking how to do.
