I have created the exe file from jar and used this exe to create the installer using Inno setup. However when I install the system tray icon is not changing to custom icon I am proving in the .iss script. With Inno Setup the application icon which is displayed in Start > Program Files is picked up correctly but not the system tray icon.
I used the resource hacker to verify that the exe file has the image which needs to be displayed in the system tray. When Installing I do get prompted to select the desktop icon and quicklaunch icon. Desktop icon is picked correctly but not the quicklaunch icon.
Could some one suggest how to customize the system tray icon (quicklaunchicon).
#JerryDodge Thank you for the clues. The jar itself had the icon file which needed to be replaced. After replacing it, everything worked.

I use InnoSetup to create application installer. Since I am installing a plugin for an existing application, I don't want the application icon to show up in the Start menu shortcuts. How to prevent InnoSetup from creating Start menu shortcuts?
InnoSetup will only create icons if you have entries in your [Icons] section. Remove all of the entries and your installer won't create any icons.
In devnull's scenario, another task to do could be to hide the installed plugin from the list of the installed Programs and Features on Windows control panel.
In order to so, you need to add this line of code in your InnoSetup script:
CreateUninstallRegKey=no
I have inherited an installscript project which asks the user if they want a desktop shortcut. The script creates the shortcut, but Windows gives it a default icon rather than the icon specified. When you look at the properties of the shortcut, the correct icon is displayed.
I see on this page the following:
"The shortcut target must be present on the target system before AddFolderIcon can be called." And I'm wondering if that's the cause of the issue.
The installscript is creating shortcuts in the OnFirstUIBefore() function. Do we need to instead create these shortcuts in the OnFirstUIAfter() function, after the executable has been copied to the user's machine? And if so, do we need to delay that dialog which asks them if they want the shortcut, or is there a way to save those answers until we get to that function?
I don't recall seeing an install which copies files and then asks you more questions about shortcuts.
We are using Installshield 2012 Spring if that is relevant at all.
FWIW I gave up and decided to create the shortcuts using the installation designer. Now they function correctly; however the install dialogs no longer ask the user if they want the shortcuts.

please guide me , how to change the default icon in the project in visual studio 2012 ?
due to that the certification test fails .
Due to this error I am not able to upload it to the windows store.
To change the default icon, first find or make an icon file. Then do this:
Go to the project properties. (Project menu.)
Select the Application pane. (Probably the first one.)
Go to the section Resources.
Check the option (radio) button Icon and manifest.
For the Icon field, use the browse button to select your icon file.
Save it, build it, try the certification test again.

If you rightclick your installation project in VS2010 under the option "View" you can select the user interface. A new tab wil open with al the UI windows on it, you can change the text there.
