Installshield mixing up Program file paths
Our shortcut icon is blank on x64 bit Operating systems (Vista/win7/win8, on win8 the tile is also blank)
When we install on a x64 OS say Windows 8 the shortcut will have these details:
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flex Systems\FlexMail 4.0\FlexMail.exe"
Which is good, when I click Change icon however it gives me a warning:
Windows can't find the file %ProgramFiles%\FLex Systems\FlexMail 4.0\application.ico
And that's to be expected because it should be something with %Program Files (x86)%?
When I manualy change the icon, it becomes %ProgramFiles% (x86)\Flex Systems\FlexMail 4.0\application.ico
Extra Info:
We are installing a 32bit application
General Informatione - TARGETDIR:\Flex Systems\
Shortcut icon:\application.ico, 0
Our current install: download (500mb)
Any suggestions to get the icon to display immediately after the installation would be appreciated
