Custom desktop icon with inno setup

iconsinno-setup

I have the following in my inno setup file which creates a desktop icon no problem:

Name: "desktopicon"; Description: "{cm:CreateDesktopIcon}"; GroupDescription: "{cm:AdditionalIcons}"

However, the main file that launches the program is a VBS file rather than an EXE. I'd like to have a nice icon on the shortcut rather than the VBScript one, but can't find an option to change the icon.

Is there such an option available to set a custom icon??

The Inno-Setup help about the [Icons] section says:

IconFilename

The filename of a custom icon (located on the user's system) to be displayed. This can be an executable image (.exe, .dll) containing icons or a .ico file. If this parameter is not specified or is blank, Windows will use the file's default icon. This parameter can include constants.

Example: IconFilename: "{app}\myicon.ico"

Hope that helps.

There is a parameter called IconFilename which should solve your problem. Example:

[Icons]
Name: {group}\MyApplication; Filename: {app}\MyApplication.exe; WorkingDir: {app}; IconFilename: {app}\MyApplication.ico; Comment: "MyApplication"; Components: MyApplication; 
Name: {commondesktop}\MyApplication; Filename: {app}\MyApplication.exe; WorkingDir: {app}; IconFilename: {app}\MyApplication.ico; Comment: "MyApplication"; Components: MyApplication;

You are free to use an exe, a dll or an ico file to get your company logo icon from using IconFilename property.
