Hi Constantin, Here is the original question:
"How can we create a setup file which already has an icon? ..." Because question is not very specific I assume we are talking about an msi file. As far as I know, icon for any msi file comes from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\DefaultIcon which points to "C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe,0". I am not aware of any other way to override that icon with some other icon on *per-msi basis* and I don't think that overriding default value in the registry on per-machine basis is the right solution. If you know how to change the icon of a specific msi file, please share it with everybody. I personally would like to know that.

The better solution is to have a small ".exe" with only an icon inside - this works everywhere. -- Constantin Bryzgalin http://www.oneclicktools.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
