Hi Folks, After installing, associated Icons are not showing up for our shortcuts added to our program's entry on the Start menu, instead I see the default 'no association' icon.
Reading some previous messages I see there is no way to specify an icon for the InternetShortcut and that it should display the icon associated with the shortcut's URL protocol, in this case http. The http protocol is associated with FireFox, and if I drag a URL (for a site that doesn't have a FavIcon) from either the FireFox or Internet Explorer Address bars to the desktop it picks up the expected icon. The other shortcut is to a CHM file from within a component, since the shortcut needed to be installed to All Users I followed some more advice I found searching the archives and set the shortcuts Advertise attribute to "yes". I suppose it's possible the indirection from the advertised shortcut through MSI hides the target filetype and its icon association, after using the shortcut the next time the start menu entry is display the CHM icon is present, is there anyway to make that happen without requiring the shortcuts be clicked by the user first. For the InternetShortcut clicking the shortcut does not have this effect, the icon remains incorrect. It's worth noting I also see this happening with the Wix installation advertised shortcuts. Does anyone know away around this? For the advertised shortcut I guess I could include the CHM icon in the MSI, but I'm out of ideas for the InternetShortcut.
