Hello All,
I am facing a problem while ,

associating the Icon to Application in Add /Remove Programs.

I tried to use action called "windows registry update" ,but it is not working.

I have found a way to do this manually, but it would be much nicer if IS did what it says it would do.

Does anyone know a trick on getting this Display Icon to work or is this a know issue with IS10.5?

Any hints are welcome sad.gif

Thanks in Advance

First off, you posted this in the IS6 forum which is what I use. Not IS10.5. Therefore, I'll be moving this topic afterwards.

However, to answer your question, simply write the following string registry entry in the uninstall key of your project:
"DisplayIcon" = <IconPath>

Here's an example of how to do that in InstallScript code:
CODE
szARPIcon = TARGETDIR ^ "BIN\\icons\\thinkndo.ico";
nResult = RegDBSetKeyValueEx(szARPKey, "DisplayIcon", nvType, szARPIcon, -1);

By the way, this is also covered in my IS FAQ.
