Hi..Its simple enough. What u need to do is ,
1)Right click your Project in solution explorer and click properties.
2)From the available tabs on property page select "Application" tab.
3)Here you would find one combo/dropdown with lable Icon. Select Browse from it and specify the icon you want to use.
4) Build/ Deploy your application.
5) Now you would see the icon you specified early in the control panel add/remove programs.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi.....
I found the solution.
In the Solution Explorer, Right Click on Deployment Project Properties(after the setup file is created).
In the properties window first one is AddRemoveProgramsIcon,there you can browse the icon file. An Icon window will pop up in which Click on Browse.Select Application Folder->Ok->Add File. Now you can select any icon file in the system from there. :)
