I think you have a typo - I'm not aware that
System32 is ever localized.
You should be aware that the file you specify is looked up
on the build machine and included in the MSI - it is not the version on
the end-user's machine. It's very unlikely that you actually want to do this
since it will end up dropping a copy of your own cmd.exe on the user's
system.
You should consider extracting the icon using any resource
management tool - Visual Studio can do this if you select File, Open and use the
drop-down next to the Open button to select Open With, Resource Editor - and
using that.
The documentation for the Icon table says that icons
associated with shortcuts must be in the PE binary format (actually it says EXE
but since the difference between a DLL and an EXE is one bit in a flag field in
the header I'd be surprised if this mattered). Therefore you might need to build
a stub EXE just containing the icon (or perhaps a resource-only DLL?). You can
have a single EXE contain all the icons for a given file extension. However, I
can see by browsing %SystemRoot%\Installer that there seem to be many products
that are using .ico files successfully.
The documentation for ICE50 confuses me. It seems to be
saying, at the same time, that the extension of the Id used in the Icon table
should be the same as that of the file pointed to by the shortcut, but also that
the extension should be either EXE or ICO. For a shortcut to anything that's not
an EXE or an ICO, that's not possible! However, the first is an error, while the
second is a warning.
I'm sorry that this answer has been a bit rambling, I'm
struggling to understand this myself.
