Using a custom image for a desktop shortcut
I have been looking through a few threads and can't seem to find a solution. I have a sample installer that installs C:\Sample\image.ico and C:\Sample\test.exe. On the project assistant screen I set InstallShield 2013 professional to create a desktop shortcut for test.exe. What I am trying to do is have image.ico as my desktop shortcut icon. On the installation designer screen I tried pointing the icon path to [INSTALLDIR]image.ico, but the browse option forces me to hardcode a path on my pc. Can anyone help me or offer a different way of accomplishing my goal?

Go ahead and use the path to the icon on your local PC. The icon will be consumed in the setup and it will work as you want.
