Excerpts from "Icon table" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369210(VS.85).aspx), last paragraph:
"... However, Icon files that are associated with shortcuts must be in the EXE binary format and must be named such that their extension matches the extension of the target. ..." This statement means that the Id attribute of the <Icon> element must have the same extension as the icon file: <Shortcut ... Icon="icon1.exe"> <Icon Id="icon1.exe SourceFile="...\file1.exe" /> Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Riyaz Mogharabin Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 4:35 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix 3 and icons warnings Dear All, I have been using WiX 2 for a while and managed to create my MSI files with it. I had to change into WiX-3 a while ago to benefit from a feature which did not exist in wix-2. Now, when I use light, there are some errors and warnings. The warning is about the type of icons which are used for shortcuts: <Shortcut IconIndex='0' Name='my program' WorkingDirectory='INSTALLDIR' Show='normal' Directory='ProgramMenuDir' Advertise='yes' Id='shortcut1' Icon='icon1'> <Icon Id='icon1' SourceFile='C:\InstallFiles\Images\file1.exe' /> I receive this warning: Warning LGHT1076 : ICE50: The extension of Icon 'icon1' for Shortcut shortcut1' is not "exe" or "ico". The Icon will not be displayed correctly. Although, if I install the generated MSI file, the Shortcuts are not displayed. These shortcut files worked fine with Wix-2. Does anybody know how to correct this? I'd be thankfull so much, Thank you, Riyaz ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
