ARPPRODUCTICON property in file of commands

[p.briys]

Hi,

I try to configure Add/Remove program with an icon, but this script don't work correctly:

Code: Select all

;aic
SetProperty ARPPRODUCTICON="D:\Patrick\dev\Msi_Installer\Rdp_Test\Rdp-test.ico"
Save

The return is:

• SetProperty ARPPRODUCTICON="D:\Patrick\dev\Msi_Installer\Rdp_Test\Rdp-test.ico"

If I manually configure icon and uses getproperty, the return is:

• productname.exe

How to configure this option

Controle panel icon

Thanks

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Please note that the ARPPRODUCTICON property points to an entry from the Icon Table. So, you cannot set this property from the command line interface through the SetProperty.

You can set the icon which will be showed for the product in the "Add or Remove Programs" applet in Control Panel in the Product Details Tab from the Product Details page.

If you have other questions, please let us know.

Best regards,
Dan

I'm running into this issue as well. I absolutely need a way to modify the add/remove applet icon for my builds either via the command line, or by command file.
Is there no way to do this outside of the product details GUI?

I specified a custom icon in the gui. Looking at the XML of the AIP file, I now have this:

Code: Select all

  <COMPONENT cid="caphyon.advinst.msicomp.MsiIconsComponent">
    <ROW Name="app_icon.exe" SourcePath="app_icon.ico" Index="0"/>
  </COMPONENT>

Is there really no way to edit that apart from replacing the ico file during build time?

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no command line option to achieve this. The only way to set the Control Panel icon is by using the AI application with GUI, from "Product Details" page.

I've added your requests on our feature requests list and maybe such improvement (command line to add CP icon) will be added in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestions. Until then, I'm afraid there is no workaround.

Thank you for your understanding.

All the best,
Daniel

Hello,

After talking with our development team about your request, it seems we already had a SetIcon command available in Advanced Installer, but this command is not documented in our user guide (because it wasn't public). Starting with our next version of Advanced Installer we will published this command in our user guide. We'll let you know as soon as the new version is out.

Until then, you can use the following command to set the Control Panel icon:

Code: Select all

/SetIcon -icon <icon_path>

If you have any questions let us know.

All the best,
Daniel
