I'm using IzPack 5.0 beta 11 to package up my Java application.
How do I get a program installed using IzPack on Windows to appear in Program and Features as an installed program?

I simply want my program to be shown in Programs and Features, and it be possible to uninstall from there.
So I found this page http://docs.codehaus.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=142803064, the documentation is a bit outdated for Izpack 5 beta 11 but eventually worked out all I needed to get it working on a 32-bit installtion was add the following to my install.xml
<natives>
<native type="3rdparty" name="COIOSHelper.dll" stage="both">
</native>
</natives>
<listeners>
<listener classname="RegistryInstallerListener" stage="install"/>
<listener classname="RegistryUninstallerListener" stage="uninstall"/>
</listeners>
and for 64 bit:
<natives>
<native type="3rdparty" name="COIOSHelper_x64.dll" stage="both">
</native>
</natives>
<listeners>
<listener classname="RegistryInstallerListener" stage="install"/>
<listener classname="RegistryUninstallerListener" stage="uninstall"/>
</listeners>
Giving the following advantages:
