wrong add/remove program icon after install of new project

I've created a new VB 2005 project that I've been doing preliminary test
installs for. In the development project, I've set the applications icon to
an ico file. In the installation project I've set the shortcut files target
to the .exe file. I've also set the shortcut icons and the add/remove
program icon for the project to the icon in the target .exe file as well.

When I install the product on the target machine, all of the shortcuts
(desktop and program menu) are set with the right icons. But the add/remove
program icon for the project displays with a folder icon instead.

I also tried including the ico file in my install project and set the
add/remove program icon to it instead of the .exe file. But no difference.

Am I doing something wrong or do I need to do something else in addition?

Thanks

Steve

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...

i'm trying to embed multiple program icons in my executable. the only way so far i managed to do that is to embed native win32 resource file with multiple icons. it works, but... when i create a native win32 resource file with the VS 2005 and put there my icons, VS always converts some of the 32bit icons into 24bit - so i loose alpha blending what makes my icons look ugly.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
