View Full Version : Icons for uninstall

Why is it that when running an uninstaller (such as Revo Uninstaller), all
the installed applications are shown with their respective icons, except for
the applications that were installed with SetupBuilder. They all have the
same standard de facto icon.
The icon file is coded in the Shortcut Properties panel for the desktop
shortcut, which shows up correctly, and the same is coded for the uninstall.
What am I missing?

I bet you are missing the "Display Icon" entry in General Information ->
Add/Remove Programs

Yes, indeed you were right. That entry was blank.

However, I added the icon info, recompiled the SB and ran an update, but the
add/remove icon did not get replaced.
I uninstalled the app (using Revo) and made sure it was totally "gone", and
then installed it again, but the app icon still does not appear.

Please ignore that last response.
That problem was due to mis-code.
The icon now shows up.

Hi Friedrich,

I see that this icon, does never gets updated.
Unless the program is completely uninstalled, the old icon remains.
