Add/Remove Programs Icon

When I create an install package, all I see is a folder Icon in the
Add/Remove programs. I have set the AddRemoveProgramsIcon property in
my install package, but that doesn't do anything. I have created
packages before that worked correctly, but not anymore. I have even
tried installing this to different machines, but there was no change.

Is there a different property that has to be set for this icon to be
displayed?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kalvin,

A dumb safety question - have you checked the icon conforms the requirements
imposed by the Add/Remove Programs applet (if any exist)?

I had a similar problem - there are several places in the Visual Studio
installer project that has an icon property that needs to be configured to
point at your icon; make sure you find them all (it's easy to miss one) and
that they point to valid files. You can check the icons actually in the
install package if you open up the msi file with ORCA and look at the
tables.
