You would need to check whatever installation creation package you are using to see what event it supports. Applications do not have installation or uninstallation events.

It depends on what installation framework you are using...

In case if you are using VS setup & Deployment, you can use OnBeforeUninstall to write your custom code. Before calling your custom code, call the base.OnBeforeUninstall(savedState) so that registered delegates receive the event thereby allowing your custom code to execute before the uninstall.

Hope it helps.
