I have seen the "white icon" problem before (on Vista), in fact the WiX 3.0 install always shows white icons for the documentation until you first use them. That is it did until the latest release now they stay white. I think this is a bug but I am not sure if it is a Windows Installer bug or WiX.

I have a WiX project file - which creates two shortcuts - one under Programs Menu in the Application Folder, and one on the Desktop. These are 'advertised' shortcuts - nested within a File element. The Icon element is included in the project and correctly references the application icon. WiX builds fine as before. The installer works fine as well - all ok - with one minor problem. After installation - the shortcut icons are showing up as the 'plain white' page icons (without the icon art from the .ico file). That is until another program installer was run (a commercial installer from another product altogether). Then suddenly the shortcut icons from my installer appeared correctly - no longer the 'plain white' page icon - but the correct icon art for the application. Any ideas? Is this a WiX issue? Windows 7 issue? Does the MSI need to trigger an icon cache refresh after install? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
