[RESOLVED] VS2022 4.5FW Application icon problem

[.paul.]

I’m just finishing up a project I’ve been writing. I changed my app. Icon, but I didn’t like it, so I made another. Added my icon to my.resources, swapped the icon in the properties page. The new icon shows there, also I changed my form icon, which works. But when I build my app, the first new icon that I’ve removed is used for my executable. Is this a project caching or windows caching error?
Has anyone seen this problem before?

I’ve found something that’s basically a workaround. Changing the name of the compiled executable brings up the right icon. It seems to be a windows caching error, and I don’t know how to refresh the cache.

I'd seen them before, but i tried again with this one...

I tracked down the *.db files, which are several folders down from the %userprofile%\AppData\Local folder mentioned in that link
Then, i used DEL *.db /a and restarted Explorer. That fixed it.

OK, so it sounds like it was indeed the icon cache issue.
