Can't get application icon in Programs Page

Can't get application icon in Programs Page

  Hi Zero Dai,

  If I used File Explorer, I could find my .exe, but it did not show up in the start menu, nor in the Start menu Programs page (screen). I was finally able to get the icons to show up in these places after manually moving the .exe file and shortcut to the proper Windows folder (directory). I thought using the CAB was supposed to take care of this for you.

  Hi Scott,

  There is supposed to be some wrong settings on your CAB project. Let's have a check!

  1. If I used File Explorer, I could find my .exe,

  So we can make sure that the application is installed successfully.

  2. but it did not show up in the start menu, nor in the Start menu Programs page (screen).

  If we want to make it shown in start menu and Start menu Programs page, we need to add a shortcut in our Start Menu Folder and Programs Folder of CAB project. That is, e.g. :

  1. Add a primary output in Program Files Folder.
  2. Right click it and create a shortcut for it.
  3. Drag it to Programs Folder and Start menu Folder.

  If there are problems still, we can go on a further discussion.Thanks.

  Best Regards,

  Hello Sab2,

  Would you please tell me what is not shown in the Programs Folder Is either .exe or shortcut missing in Programs Folder

  Generaly speaking, we install .exe files in Program Files folder and add a shortcut in Programs Folder.
