How to change windows Applicatoin's default icon in Setup Project?

It is truly odd that when you are creating a deployment (set up) project, and you create a shortcut to the "Primary output" (an . Exe), the shortcut does not automatically get the . Exe's icon.

Instead it gets a generic document shortcut icon. Some of the answers here suggest adding an . Ico file to the installer, but that certainly feels wrong.

You can get the desired icon into the shortcut without adding an . Ico file.

Right click on you windows application project, select properties. In the properties window, select the application tab. In the application tab, there is a radio button saying Icon and manifest.

Select that and browse and select your custom icon for the application in the Icon drop down menu.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
