[RESOLVED] Add icon with Inno Setup

[wilder1926]

Hello everybody,

With Inno Setup, I can create an icon for the Uninstaller because in the wizard, he ask for it.

But not for the program himself once it's on your desktop.

How can I add it?

[Tasks]
Name: "desktopicon"; Description: "{cm:CreateDesktopIcon}"; GroupDescription: "{cm:AdditionalIcons}"; Flags: unchecked
Name: "quicklaunchicon"; Description: "{cm:CreateQuickLaunchIcon}"; GroupDescription: "{cm:AdditionalIcons}"; Flags: unchecked


[Icons]
Name: "{group}\xxxxxxx v1.02"; Filename: "{app}\Manual order v1.02.exe"
Name: "{group}\{cm:UninstallProgram,xxxxxxx  v1.02}"; Filename: "{uninstallexe}"
Name: "{commondesktop}\xxxxxxx  v1.02"; Filename: "{app}\Manual order v1.02.exe"; Tasks: desktopicon
Name: "{userappdata}\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\xxxxxxx  v1.02"; Filename: "{app}\Manual order v1.02.exe"; Tasks: quicklaunchicon

Thanks for your help again.

I have it in a PJT file:

DesktopIcon=1
AllowNoIcons=0

and then this part:

[Icons]
Name: {group}\Block; Filename: {app}\Block20.exe; WorkingDir: {app}
Name: {group}\Block on the Web; Filename: {app}\Block20.url
Name: {group}\Uninstall Block; Filename: {uninstallexe}
Name: {userdesktop}\Block; Filename: {app}\Block20.exe; Tasks: desktopicon; WorkingDir: {app}
Name: {userappdata}\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Block; Filename: {app}\Block20.exe; Tasks: quicklaunchicon; WorkingDir: {app};

(Used Inno Setup from www.randem.com, but that was a few years ago.)

I don’t understand perfectly.

Where do I assign the icon for the .exe in Inno Setup?

My icon that I want to use is in : C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\My Documents\VB6 folder\PNG v2.ico

DesktopIcon=1
AllowNoIcons=0

and then this part:

[Icons]
Name: {group}\Block; Filename: {app}\Block20.exe; WorkingDir: {app}
Name: {group}\Block on the Web; Filename: {app}\Block20.url
Name: {group}\Uninstall Block; Filename: {uninstallexe}
Name: {userdesktop}\Block; Filename: {app}\Block20.exe; Tasks: desktopicon; WorkingDir: {app}
Name: {userappdata}\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Block; Filename: {app}\Block20.exe; Tasks: quicklaunchicon; WorkingDir: {app};

You load the icon into the EXE before you compile it. I don't think you can assign an icon

[wilder1926]

What is the easiest way to load it before i compile it?

[dglienna]

Add the icon as your main form icon, and that will make it the default for the exe

[wilder1926]

I think my explanation was not perfect.

What I want is to add in the VB6 project an icon for the program once it is install.

Not the installer and / or the uninstaller.

Is that possible?

[vb5prgrmr]

Open project files in vb.
Click on main form for application.
In the properties box of the form, look for Icon.
Click ... button and browse to icon you want.
OK.
Then go to VB's IDE Menu>Project>Properties.
On Make tab, in frame with title of Application, select the form name that has this icon you want to use.
OK.

Now recompile project and you are done.




Good Luck
