The ProgId element has an Icon attribute you need to set. It should be the Id of a file containing the icon resource (or the Id of an Icon element if your ProgId is advertised).

Subject: [WiX-users] Registering file types in WiX 3.0 Hello, I am trying to register a file type for our application using WiX. the code I used: <ProgId Id='Application.xyzFile' Description='Application data file'> <Extension Id='xyz' ContentType='xyz'> <Verb Id='open' Command='Open' TargetFile='Application.exe' Argument='"%1"' /> </Extension> </ProgId> This seems working and the file type gets registered, and I can see the Application name in the open with list for the files. However the assigning the icon to the files is not working. I got code from some articles on web and tried using it. <Registry Id='Icon1' Root='HKCR' Key='.xyz' Action='write' Type='string' Value='Application.xyzFile' /> <Registry Id='Icon2' Root='HKCR' Key='Application.xyzFile ' Action='write' Type='string' Value='Application data file ' /> <Registry Id='Icon3' Root='HKCR' Key='Application.xyzFile\DefaultIcon' Action='write' Type='string' Value='[INSTALLDIR]Application.exe,1' /> If anyone has idea where I'm going wrong, please help. Thanks in advance. Thanks Sachin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
