Desktop will not show custom icon
When i use my custom icon it will show in a folder but when i place it on my desktop or even create it to my desktop it shows the default icon. How can i fix this. Also i am using the demo incase that is the reason.

Update: Seems my other projects work. For some reason only 1 project will not display the icon when on the desktop. Shows in all other folders. So at some point i will try to move all of my code to another fresh project and go from there. -
I have the issue almost solved. If i name the installer on export L35A.exe it will not show the icon. If i try K35A.exe it works. So i checked to see if i have any files on my desktop with that name and no match. So is there an issue in the registry? For now i will name it Learjet35A.Comment

What you describe sounds like an icon cache issue. The icon stored in the cache for that file name is used, instead of the current icon. Rebuilding the icon cache might resolve this.

I resolved that issue. Now i have a new issue 'Could not open input file' Well the input file is my ico icon. No reason to open it. I also tried to use disable CRC.
Seems i am ok to add a icon to the main exe but no matter any of the choices i make for the add and remove programs it causes this message to appear.
The second issue is the uninstall exe stored in the appfolder has no icon.
The third issue is i do not want an XML file with a list of all the files so the customer cant repack my files. I wrote a custom code to prevent user from installing to any location so they can't repack my file that way. So this XML is now making my new code pointless....Arg!!!

I also figured out why i got the 'Could not open input file' message. I was not aware as i have been learning to add icons when i select icon for external source it adds it to the external tab. I had a list of several in there. So now that is resolved.
Still would appreciate help on the the main uninstall exe has no icon as i have 3 locations set. 1 for main exe. 2 for add/remove programs. 1 for installer upper left corner. So where is uninstall.exe?
The third issue is important to me as so far i can only hide those files in another location. I prefer an expansive program to be better than my low price program that can create a full uninstall exe with all info needed. Very odd to produce 3 files. Unless there is a reason i am not aware of.Comment

Looks like i found my answer from this post. for no way to set a icon for the uninstaller exe and only the add/remove programs. https://forums.indigorose.com/forum/...th-custom-info
So just need help on this question:
