Yes you are right, I used the program ICOFX to solve this. All is good now.

Re: Theme icon not being displayed in theme dialog
I solved this issue by using a program called ICOFX to convert JPG to .ICO file. Renaming BMP file was not enough, neither was using online convertor programs

Re: Module not found error since update
Have you tried with a standard ICO file, I suspect the problem is that simply renaming the BMP file is not enough. Best regards, Bogdan No I am using xara to design all my icons and there is no export to ico file. All help thus far in web suggests simply renaming a bitmap file to ico extension. I h...

Re: Custom Action - Explaination
Ok, I think I know the answer to this now. Based on my experience of using javascript, and a custom action based on an installer class. I can see a DTF CA built on VB.NET is wayyyyy easier. You guys should just flat out state in your help that one should not use anything other than a DTF. I could ha...
