I was struggling with the same problem. The thing is that if you use the standard help solution using the UninstallDisplayIcon directive, for some reason the uninstall icon does not appear. Try adding the following code to the script:

procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
        begin
            case CurStep of
//          ssInstall:
//            Do_Pre_Install();
//          ssPostInstall:
//            Do_Post_Install();
            ssDone:
                // Update the Registry with the Uninstall icon from the unistaller.
                //
                RegWriteStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
                'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{#TheAppId}_is1',
                'DisplayIcon',
                ExpandConstant('{uninstallexe}')); // specify this parameter as needed
            end;
        end;

The UninstallDisplayIcon must point to a permanent file on the destination machine. Not to the source drive of the installer. That typically means that you have to install the icon and point the UninstallDisplayIcon to the installed copy:

[Setup]
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\uninstall.ico

[Files]
Source: uninstall.ico; DestDir: {app}

Note that the UninstallDisplayIcon is loaded by Windows on the destination machine, not Inno Setup itself. Windows supports other formats, like .exe and .dll, in addition to .ico.
