Try the old 2.03 fix. Create a property ALLUSERS and set it to 1 in the Property Manager. It'll make that icon show up.
Good Luck

In my standard ISD7.02 project, I set the field General Information : Add/Remove Programs : Display Icon to the value <ISProjectFolder>\setup files\english (united states)\RaidMan.ico. This file does exist and is used properly for my shortcuts.
In Direct Editor, I verified this value is reflected in the Icon table value ARPPRODUCTICON.
After running the setup, the specified icon is not shown in Add/Remove Programs on Win2K.
Looking in the registry, under HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/{ProductCode}, there is no key called DisplayIcon.
However, under HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/InstallShield_{ProductCode}, there *is* a key called DisplayIcon with the value C:\WINNT\Installer\{EE94A40F-2489-4727-B8F7-1A950EC3FB9A}\ARPPRODUCTICON
On my system, *there is no such directory* as C:\WINNT\Installer
If I manually change the value of that key using regedit, the icon I specify is shown properly in Add/Remove Programs.
This appears to be a bug in ISD7.02, but I haven't seen it documented anywhere. Why is ISD setting a bogus value for the DisplayIcon key? Please help!
