Custom Icon for Control Panel Uninstaller?

[eric_darling]

Is there a way to customize the icon for the Control Panel uninstaller? Right now, it seems to be grabbing the first icon it sees alphabetically in the program files folder, and unfortunately, that's another company's logo.

All you need to do is to make an entry in the Registry that points it to your icon. Look at the:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0 Professional

Key in your Registry. Notice the "DisplayIcon" value - just do the same for your app.

Thanks, Brett! I'll give that a whirl. If I don't report back, that's cause it worked for me...

?? All my SUF6 apps display the appropriate icon in the Control Panel uninstaller. I have not added any "special" action to achieve the result. The uninstall key has only the values DisplayName and UninstalString, but the app icon is included in the exe. If not, like a project where the main file is a chm, I use the Modify Registry action.

If you want the Windows button to display "Remove" (not "Change/Remove"), you should read bab's post

BTW: Thanks for all your support in the IR forums.

Hey, thanks for that tip, CDS... And to Brett as well. With some tweaking, I was able to implement both registry fixes. Now, the proper icon displays, and the change/remove button now just says "remove." Sweet.
