attaching an icon to a shortcut

hi,

I created a setup & deployment project for my application - all works fine. Only when I attach an icon to the shortcut I've created to the user's desktop - I keep get an error message when trying to build the setup project - "invalid icon file". I tried to first add the icon file to the application folder and only then associate the icon to the short cut, and I've tried to create the shortcut and only then add the icon file - nothing will do.....

Try clicking on your project, then bringing up the properties window (note: this is different then right clicking on your project and selecting properties ). If you look at the top, there should be an AddRemoveProgramsIcon. Select you icon using the browers from there, and you should be good to go.
