Can't set a icon for a shortcut of a visual studio installer project

hi.
I created a visual studio project (VS 2013, windows 8) from a exist project in the selution, but i can't set the icon on the desktop and program menu.
i tried all the selution i found in the web:
changed the extention to .exe
the size of the icon is 13 k"b, but i still dont see the icon.
i also tried making a shurtcut from Primary Output, with no change.
It should be noted, that in the properties of the shortcot, it shows that there is a icon, and aslo the shortcut works, and ythe icon is showed in the install program, bot the icon is not showed on the desktop and the program menu.

Hello,
It seems that you want to add an icon for your application to be used as a shortcut or an icon located in quick start explorer.
You could add that icon with the following way.
How to: Specify an Application Icon (Visual Basic, C#)
In addition, we should pay attention to the icon format for different systems and different DPI modes.
You could refer to the following thread.
Which icon sizes should my Windows application's icon include?
The following format works for both windows 8 and windows 7.
Windows 7:
Explorer views:
Details / List / Small symbols: 16
All other options: 256 (resized, if necessary)
Right-click->Properties / choosing a new icon: 32
Pinned to taskbar: 32
Right-click-menu: 16
Desktop:
Small symbols: 32
Medium symbols: 48
Large symbols: 256 (resized, if necessary)
Zooming using Ctrl+Mouse wheel: 16, 32, 48, 256

Carl

  • How to set the icon for the entire application with JFrame.setIconImage

    I set the icon on the main frame using JFrame.setIconImage(). The icon is shown properly in the main frame.
    If more JFrames are opened from the main frame, the newly opened JFrames also show the icon.
    However if JDialogs are opended, in some cases the icon set on the main frame is shown and in other cases the coffee cup.
    What is JFrame.setIconImage() expected to do? Setting the icon for a single JFrame or the entire application?
    How can I set the icon for the entire application?
    How can I set the icon for JDialogs?
    Thank you

    In order for your dialogs to use the same icon as the frame, you must parent the dialogs to the frame which has the custom icon.
    See the following thread for more information: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=362542

  • Custom icon for desktop shortcut

    Hi All,
    I have a link in the portal which when the end users click should create a desktop shortcut to the portal.
    I used this to create the desktop shortcut
    var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
    var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "
    Portal.url");
    oShellLink.TargetPath = "URL to the portal";
    oShellLink.Save();
    By default we get the IE icon for this shortcut. I want a custom icon to be associated with this shortcut.
    I can use oShellLink.IconLocation but the icon needs to be in every users c:\windows folder.
    Does somebody know how can I add this custom icon?
    Many Thanks,
    Akhilesh

  • Can you set an alert for birthdays in Addressbook and iCal?

    When I migrated from Palm Calendar to iCal, my calendar had my birthdays in it repeating each year and with a 7 day alert so I could send a card or get a present in time.
    I see you can list a birthday in Addressbook and set the iCal pref to show them which is at first glance very cool and green but when I open the birthday event in iCal I don't see any way to set an alert which is a big limitation.
    If I can't set alerts, then the Addressbook/iCal birthday syncing is kind of pointless and limited, unless I'm missing how to set alerts.

    Hi Steven,
    This is one of the reasons why I wrote Dates to iCal.
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries.
    Best wishes

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

  • How can i set a layout for MIGO screen

    Hello all,
    How can i set a layout for MIGO screen. & make that layout default. Like i want to drag Requistioner column next to quantity in MIgo screen. temporarily I can drag but is there a way to save as layout & save it.

    Hi
    First you arrange however you want and then go to table settings which is there in the right corner of the item details and create a variant and save.
    Find a button with blue yellow and white at the top end above the vertical drag bar when put the cursor it will show you as Configuration.
    After creating the variant tick the check box use as standard setting below the variant
    Hope it helps

  • How can I set a default for webpages to expand to full screen?

    How can I set a default for webpages to expand to full screen? Every webpage I go to does not expand to a full screen which causes me to have to ctrl+++ each time. How can I set my preference to expand to full screen automatically?
    Thanks.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

    Or the NoSquint extension: <br />

  • How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?

    How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.

    You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
    For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option

  • How can i set a path for my deployment files in weblogic server 10.3

    Hi
    How can i set the path for my WAR ,JAR files while deploying.i am using the wls10.3 version.
    is there any scripts for this ,please provide me.
    my Application is ADF 11g application.

    By "path", I assume you mean "classpath".
    The simplest way is simply to include the jars you need inside the web application or web module's WEB-INF/lib directory, EJB module's META-INF/lib directory, or EAR lib directory.
    If that's not practical, if you use NodeManager to start your servers, you can go to the "Server Start" tab in the server definition in the WebLogic console and edit the "Classpath" field, which defaults to no value. You can specify a classpath value there. Note that if you specify a value there, it REPLACES the default classpath for the server, it doesn't add to it. If you need to just add to it (a much more likely scenario), if the value references the value "$CLASSPATH" in it, that will reference the original classpath value that the server would have had.
    So, for instance, if you wanted to include the MQ jars in the server classpath, you could set a value like this:
    /usr/java/mq/lib/mq.jar:/usr/java/mq/lib/mqstuff.jar:$CLASSPATH

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • Can v set credit limit for a vendor? if so, how?

    can v set credit limit for a vendor? if so, how?

    Hello
    the two replies are correct that the redit limit is always used for customers. but i can give you the scenario as per the request and Amrita please correct me if i am making something wrong.
    as per vendors there are three to four vendors are available for buying a material. we are not using quota arrangement but we just distribute the order based on the situations. the order is given to a vendor who is quoting low price, giving the required quality and quantity and supplying as per our need. there is one more criteria for choosing this vendor. the outstanding balance for this vendor should not cross some limit.
    the limit may be based on negotiations and the some contracts' terms and conditions.
    the solution for this may be that there should be one report where you can see how much we owe to each vendor. this could be possible only when we know the Vendor g/l account and the corresponding balances.
    i think i have cleared the credit idea as well as given the solution. please reward if found it helpful.

    Sorry, no. What you can do is enable restrictions, which you can use to lock out all access to safari (just dont' forget the passcode you use to enable this) and then unrestrict when you want to use Safari.

  • How can I set default values for Allocate Mode in AO config?

    Hi, How can I set default values for allocate mode in AO config. To be specific, in the attached vi, I need to set the Allocate Mode in AO Config to 'Use FIFO Memory (6)' if the value inside my case structure is false and to 'no change (0)' if the value inside the case strusture is true.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Create two constants for the Allocate Mode input (right click > create > constant). Place one in the true case of the case structure, and place the other one in the false case. Wire them to the same tunnel (border of the case structure), then wire the tunnel to the Allocate Mode terminal of the AO Config. I don't have Traditional DAQ installed, but that should do it.
