    hello guys & gals,
    You are demi gods, you should be able to figure it out. I have a feeling that it should do something with the target path itself...

    No, they view it , they just have no answers...

    You would be better off using another installer...

    Set the main form's Icon property to the icon you want the .exe file to show.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    There is no easy way to get a different icon for the uninstaller executable as a property in the wizards steps. You will always get teh default recycle bin icon as the uninstaller menu item icon. You can use a resource hacker utility to change the embedded default icon of the st6unst.exe uninstaller app in your setups generated cab file.

    See, there is quality help in all VBF forums.
