icon for desktop shortcut not working

Hi all,

I am attempting to deploy a vb.net application. That is working fine.
I also configured the installer so shortcuts for the application
would appear on the desktop and the user program menu. That's working
too. What isn't working is the icon that I am setting for these
shortcuts. The icon is a .ico file that works fine for the program
itself, and for any shortcuts that I manually create. After I created
the shortcuts of the primary output in the file system editor, I set
the icon property to my .ico file. However but the shortcut s that
result from installation still show your basic, generic "file" icon.

Anybody have any idea why the icon isn't appearing on the shortcuts
created by installer? I followed the .net help file instructions
exactly!

thanks,
Mike Cooper
