Custom Icon

1) I am using WiX Installer to install my game on the client, I have my start menu for the game but how do I add one for my WyUpdate.exe and how can I make it use a custom icon.

Are you asking how to make a shortcut in wyBuild or in WiX? In wyBuild you just right click a file, then click "Create shortcut" then drag it to the "Start menu" folder in wyBuild. You can't set custom shortcut icons currently in wyBuild.

2) Can I actually make a custom icon for the actual wyUpdate.exe?

Yes, but you have to recompile wyUpdate from source code. See: How to make a custom version of wyUpdate.

Thanks for your post (BBCode is off so I won't quote you).

1) I am using WiX so I know how to create a shortcut but not specify a custom icon for it.

2) Okay that sounds good, what is it coded in?

You can use the Icon or IconIndex <Shortcut> attribute (see: From MSI to WiX, Part 10 - Shortcuts)

Also, make sure you disable advertised shortcuts (set Advertise="no" for every <Shortcut> element).

2) Okay that sounds good, what is it coded in?

C#, but you don't need to touch the code if you don't want to. Just change the icon and recompile it.

Sound's great! All I wanna do is change the icon and the .exe name (can that be done also?)

I wanna call it DSR!updater.exe

Sure, you can rename the exe to anything you want.
