take a look at Appendix D.2: Add uninstall information to Add/Remove Programs
and the WriteRegStr reference

here is an example from the makensis.nsi

  WriteRegExpandStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\NSIS" "UninstallString" '"$INSTDIR\uninst-nsis.exe"'
  WriteRegExpandStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\NSIS" "InstallLocation" "$INSTDIR"
  WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\NSIS" "DisplayName" "Nullsoft Install System"
  WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\NSIS" "DisplayIcon" "$INSTDIR\NSIS.exe,0"
  WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\NSIS" "DisplayVersion" "${VERSION}"

Where "NSIS" is your program name or better your application in a GUID.

TIP:
Take a look with regedt32 how other installed applications create these values and what info is added.
