Installer Icon Area

InstallAnywhere 2021 » Advanced Designer » Installer UI » Look & Feel Settings

Note:This information applies to installers that target Windows platforms.

Use the Installer Icon area in the Look & Feel Settings view to specify a custom Windows icon file (.ico) for your project. InstallAnywhere uses the icon that you specify for the self-extractor .exe files that it builds for Windows-based build targets.

InstallAnywhere incorporates a custom installer icon at build time by changing the icon of self-extractor .exe files in the InstallAnywhere installed location. Therefore, if you specify a custom icon file, it is recommended that you build one project at a time. If you launch two instances of the same InstallAnywhere installation and build two different projects at the same time, each of which has a different icon selected on the Installer Icon tab, the wrong icon for one or both projects may be used.

The Installer Icon area includes the following setting.
