[in_install]

The folder icon is displayed for the product installed in Add/Remove Programs.

I need to diplay the icon, what the exe(od.exe) contains.

For this, in MSI project, in Add/Remove Programs view for Display Icon, I entered following value ,


<ISProjectDataFolder>\files\od.exe


Let me know how to get the correct output.

If this is a per-user install then what you see is a known bug in Windows.

is it a bug in MS installshield ?? I m using version 10.0.


I found some more products installed on my system, installed by MSI project installer. For them, there is icon on ADD/Remove programs. How that is done ??

If you see corect icon only on machine where this install created, then use INSTALLDIR instead of ISProjectDataFolder.

I tried following:


INSTALLDIR\OD.exe
[INSTALLDIR]\OD.exe
[INSTALLDIR]OD.exe

But none is working. The error encountered during build is :

The source file ...OD.exe for Icon ARPPRODUCTION.exe does not exist.

I'm not following you here but there is a known bug in Microsoft Windows (not in InstallShield from Macrovision) that diaplays a folder icon instead of the product icon if the setup is installed per-user. Does it display the correct icon if you install per-machine (ALLUSERS=1)?
