Thanks Mike, it works. Leila From: Mike Dimmick
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe you have to set the
ARPPRODUCTICON property to the identifier of the icon (in the Icon table) you
want to use as the icon in Add/Remove Programs. Most Add/Remove Programs customisation is
done through properties whose names begin with ARP. -- Mike Dimmick From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leila Lali (Excell Data Corporation) Thanks it really helps, Other question is, can I change the Icon
of uninstall that shows on Control panel/Remove Program? Thanks Leila From: Mike Dimmick
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. -- Mike Dimmick From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leila Lali (Excell Data Corporation) Hi, I need to use the aka Icon (cmd.exe) for
one of my shortcuts, and it is not working like this: <Icon Id="runShell.cmd" SourceFile="[WindowsFolder]Syeten32\cmd.exe" /> Does any body
know how I can fix that? Thanks Leila |
