Creating desktop Icon !
-
Hi All, I created a setup package for my project in Visual Studio 2005. I installed on a separate PC and the exe can be run from desktop also. The executable is showing on my desktop but it is not displaying any image/logo/icon etc. I mean, its showing a square shape exe on the desktop. What I want is, whenever the exe is created on the desktop during installation, I want it to be created as an image or logo or icon. It should be same as we install Visual studio software and a desktop icon is created with title "Visual Studio 2005". I think I am able to make my requirement clear. Is there any setting for this during creation of setup file in VS 2005? Regards, R.S.

Your requirement isn't exactly clear. You say you're putting the .EXE file on the Desktop?? Easy. Go intop the project properties and, on the Application tab, there's a little place where you can change the icon used. It gets compiled into the .EXE and NOT done at installation time.
