Hi,
Browse to: C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\Redist\Language Independent\i386.
Open setup.exe in Visual studio. Change the Icon and save the changes.
Hope this helps,
Merav

Hi,
extra information for people who would like to change setup.exe file icon of a basic MSI project:
- open C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\Redist\Language Independent\i386\setup.exe with VisualStudio (Back the file up before attempting any change!)
- open Icon\100
- open custom icon file, select, copy and paste on the 100-icon tab (or draw directly desired icon)
- Save the new copy of setup.exe
The same may be done with setupPreReq.exe.
( I tried other ways but ended up with error messages.)
- re Build the project.
The setup launcher icon is customized under win XP, but remains unchanged under Vista though...
Has anyone got a hint on why this is so?
