[wix-users] No icon in ARP

[easoftware at gmail.com]

I am new to Wix Installer.  I am using Wix 3.11,Visual Studio 2017 and
Votive2017.

I have a Wix install project that installs the files to correct folders,
puts shortcuts in Start Menu and Desktop, and a Uninstall icon in the Start
Menu.  The uninstall also works.

The problem I am having is the install does not put an icon in Add/Remove
Programs.

The book "WiX 3.6: A Developer's Guide to Windows" states in chapter 1:
"Your software is automatically registered with Programs and Features", but
my install does not.  I can't find any reference on how to make my install
put an icon in Programs and Features or Add/Remove programs.

Here is my simple win project file:
-------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
