Shortcut icon

[fdaigneault]

Hi!

I'm got a really weird problem with my setup applications. I created two setups for two different applications. I installed the first one on my Win98 computer without any problems. But when I installed the second one on the same computer, the shortcut icon on the desktop is the same as the first application's one. I checked the names in the properties of the two icons and they are different.

This is a really bizarre bug because I installed the two applications on a computer with WinXP and the icons are correct.

Anybody experienced this problem or has heard about it?

Thanks!

Re: Shortcut icon

Are you using an external icon file for your Desktop shortcut or one of the ones from the target file's resources?

I'm using one of the ones from the target file's resources.

Re: Shortcut icon

I don't recall every hearing of this happening before, however I have a few other questions for you:

-Are you creating the shortcuts from the file's properties dialaog, or using a Create Shortcut action?

-What icon index are you using for each shortcut?

-Given the icon index, are you sure that the two files have different icons with that icon index?

-Our support department may be able to look deeper into the problem, so you may want to email [email protected] with a link to this thread, your project file, and the two files you are creating shortcuts to all zipped up. We could then test on our end to try to replicate the problem.
