Hello K,
Glad my blog entry could help. However, I didn't go into the icon stuff as I
figured that was common knowledge, but that was a mistake on my part, I'm
sorry! You've done everything right so far. :)
The icon for SETUP.EXE is defined in the in a .RC (resource compiler) file.
What I copy .\inc\wix.rc to into the same directory as setup.rc and changed the
name of the file to Wintellect.rc. Opening up setup.rc in a text editor, I
change the #include line from wix.rc to Wintellect.rc. In Wintellect.rc, I
changed all the values to reflect my information and added a line:
1 ICON .\Resources\Wintellect.ico
That'll have the .EXE to use your icon. I've attached my setup.rc and
Wintellect.rc. I didn't include the header files that just define the macro
values needed by Wintellect.rc as that's just standard C preprocessor stuff.
Hope it helps!
