Control Panel icon not showing?

This used to work in 18.0 version but seems to not be working anymore (I'm running 18.2).

Re: Control Panel icon not showing?

Hello Rob,

I have run a few tests on my end and everything seemed to be working as expected (the icon is visible in "Add or Remove Programs").

I've done 3 tests using a simple MSI, an EXE with External UI option checked and one with the External UI and BlackSurface theme (if I remember correctly, this is the one you are using). In all 3 cases, the icon was set as expected.

Perhaps there is something related to the machine you are testing. Are you testing this on your developer machine? If so, could you please test it on a clean machine (e.g. a Virtual Machine) and let me know if you are still able to reproduce this?

If you manage to reproduce this on a clean machine, could you please forward me a sample project that reproduces this (e.g. a simple AIP file + the icon) so I can run few tests on my end?

Best regards,
Catalin

Re: Control Panel icon not showing?

Hi Catalin,

The issue seems to be related to updating from v18.1 to v18.2.

I touch nothing with my AI project other than "build" after updating AI to v18.2 (original project was created with v18.0).

However, when I reselected the icon in my AI project and then perform another build, this seems to have solved the problem.

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Catalin,

Thanks for the response, unfortunately I have a more pressing issue right now (as in holding up my deployment) ... see thread:

Hello Rob,

I have already noticed your other thread.

I will have a look over it and I will update the respective thread when I will reach a conclusion.
