Following is used in an installer project that puts a shortcut to the installed application on the user's desktop.

After installation -

Hi RLWA32

I also added the icon to the app first under Win32 Resources. By the way, the icon is also properly displayed in the taskbar when starting the app

Then I imported the icon as a file in the Application Folder.

I then created a shortcut on User's Desktop and selected the icon under Properties.

However, after the setup installation, the default icon appears on the desktop:

Where did I miss something?

Thank you. I've done it exactly the same way now (that's different in a few places than I did). And that will probably be the reason why the icon was not displayed.

Unfortunately the default icon still comes up. I thought it might have something to do with cash and wanted to install Setup on a different machine. Unfortunately I get an error message there before Setup is even started.

It is Windows 10 Pro. When I start Setup.msi or Setup.exe, the following window appears immediately:

Then in the log file there is the following:

Launching Application.

Error: Die Anwendungsdatei "Setup.msi" kann nicht gefunden werden.

Translate => Error: The application file "Setup.msi" cannot be found.

I have exactly the same error message also on a laptop, Windows 10 is also installed there.

On the development server (Windows Server 2022 standard) a setup works without problems.

A search on the Internet resulted in absolutely nothing! It is also difficult to hit the right term that would give me results in Google.

Any ideas?

MSI file was missed, now it works :)
