Setup.exe Icon File Question
Hi all,
I followed the instructions(Setup.exe Tab for a Release) to specify an icon file for the setup.exe.
After building, the icon shows up when you look at setup.exe file. But when I run setup.exe, if I
look at the task bar, sometimes I see the default InstallShield icon. Other times, I see the icon
I had specified but then it quickly changes to the default InstallShield icon.
Any idea what's going on? Is there a size recommended for the .ico file ? InstallShield doc does
not mention any guidance on this.
thanks,
Ash

From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4354617/how-to-make-get-a-multi-size-ico-file there are some standard size for ICO graphics and you can merge multiple sizes into one ICO file with ImageMagick or ICOfx (30 day trial)
