6. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
7. Once the installation is complete, you should now be able to find the program in the Programs and Features window.

Following these steps should help you add a program to the Control Panel successfully. It is important to note that not all programs can be added to the Control Panel.

It is always wise to consult the documentation of the program before attempting to install it.
