To add to Bob's terse reply () that's really a feature of Windows itself.
The icon displayed in the top-left of the window is the class icon as
registered by the RegisterClass[Ex] function, or as set by the WM_SETICON

You'd have to use a custom action to set the directory.

There's no automatic support for that in MSI. You could store the
current association in the registry, retrieve it using RegistrySearch,
then write it back.

You need to use a secure public property so it's passed from the UI
