I got this files from this folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard
Why my program used this SETUP icon rather then SETUP1 after creating the setup package using PDW? I don't want the computer icon like this. I want to used my own Icon, I have create my own icon but fail..
Here is VB6DEP.INI files
; Master dependency file for Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Setup Wizard
Setup.exe is a bootstrap program, as the comment within it states.
Setup1.exe is a program that Setup.exe runs after extracting the rest of the package from the CAB file.
No matter what you do to change Setup1.exe's icon, it has no impact on the icon used for the pre-built Setup.exe supplied by Microsoft.
The only real option you have to change this icon is to use some sort of resource editor to replace the icon resource within Setup.exe with some other icon you supply. I think we already covered this in another thread you had started a little while ago on the same topic.
it solve when I recompile the exe and replace the exe to setup.exe. But the setup.exe cannot run . Which one I should replace the exe? setup1.exe or setup.exe because it have two exe files in that folder.

Ok, But I would like to know how to change the name "setup bootstrap for Visual basic?I don't want this name
Can you describe your steps when you modified the P&D Wiz?
1) Ok, First I open setup1.vbp, I put my i own Icon.
2) Then, I recompile the setup1.vbp and replace the existing setup1.exe in this folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard
3) I run PDW of my program..
Then I see setup.exe with default icon..When I see support folder , my own icon "Setup1.exe" in this folder.
But I run my installation package from this setup.exe (bootstrap program)
What dilettante said it correct "No matter what you do to change Setup1.exe's icon, it has no impact on the icon used for the pre-built Setup.exe supplied by Microsoft"

This data appears to be contained within another resource in the EXE for Version Info.
While you might be able to change it using a 3rd party tool or a VB6 program, you may be in violation of Copyright and your VB/VS license agremeent to do so.
An example of a product that helps make these changes is Resource Tuner Console. With some research and effort you could write a VB6 program to do this too, or maybe somebody already has and offers the code for free somewhere. A more general resource modifier utility might have this capability as well.
