Application still remains in the System Tray even after uninstalling it

Once I start my application, the application icon comes and sits in the system tray. Keeping application open, I tried to uninstall the application. the application folder gets uninstalled but the icon in the system tray remains and still application runs.

p.s. I use the setup wizard to create the installer.

From my experience the only way to remove notify icon from tray area was with:

myNotifyIcon.Visible = false;

This makes notify icon dissapear immediately. Even when I've stopped application completely, without setting notifyIcon's visibility to false, it results in icon staying in tray area as long as mouse pointer wasn't hovered over it.

Try to use this command inside your uninstaller.
