File Association Icon

[ericlevin]

Hello,

I am trying to create a file association for .ico icon files.

I want the association to use the icon file itself as the icon, not a different icon.

This can be done in the registry by specifying %1 as the icon filename, but I am not sure how to set this in Advanced Installer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi,

Advanced Installer allows you to create file associations through the "File Associations" page:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... tions.html

I want the association to use the icon file itself as the icon, not a different icon.

Please note that if .ICO files are already associated with a program (for example a picture viewer), then after the installation with the file association the .ICO files will be associated with the program you install.

Regards,
Cosmin

I know how to create file associations using Advanced Installer, but I cannot find out how to set the file association icon to be %1 so that the icon itself is used as the icon.

Hi,

Unfortunately, Advanced Installer does not support this directly. However, you can try to do this by adding the necessary registry entries in the "Registry" page.
