[RESOLVED] Deployment icons

[mrcrash]

Hi all,
ive created a setupfile and created shortcuts to users desktop and programs folder. In the application folder ive added an add or remove icon.
Ive tried putting icons in the other two folders but when i install the app all i get on the desktop is two crappy looking file icons. (ones a shortcut to the appexe and the others just an icon.
What am i doing wrong?

Did you make the icon property of the exe equal to your Icon?

Hi,

To create a shortcutIcon on your desktop:

Click on the Primary Output from....... output then go
to the menuBar Action ad click on the Create Shortcut and name it. Go to the property of your Shortcut and Add your Icon.Then drag to the User's Desktop. Build the installer!

Hope it helps,

I had the same problem a short while ago. What I did was include the icon in the actual setup project as a new item, and set the "exclude" property to "true" on install. I then used that icon inside of the setup project for the shortcut icons (or something to that effect)...

Thanks sparrow... worked a treat!
I was creating the shortcut, moving it to desktop and program folders, then assigning an icon..... not the result i wanted!
