What I'm curious about is how to control the default icon for Add/Remove Program entry. Especially since our installs are using this nice hot pink icon from one of our executables. =)

There's something I've been wondering ever since Windows 2000 was released, but haven't looked into.

In the registry, you should find a entry in :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<your software name or GUID>.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<your software name or GUID>.
To this entry you can add a couple of string keys, like
"Display Name" and "Display Icon". In Display Icon, enter the path and filename of the icon you would like to use.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that area of the registry, and I don't have a DisplayIcon entry.
Based on entries for other programs, I see you can also point to an EXE and, if desired, reference a particular emebbed icon.
This will work great. Thanks.
