I have successfully packaged up my application to be deployed and installed on a windows workstation. After installing the application on my computer, the desktop icon does not have my app's icon as a graphic. (It has a generic windows icon).
I am using Visual Studio 2008 to make this install package.
Any ideas how I can include a desktop icon in my install package?
Shortcut icons are not set automatically. So make sure you set an icon in "Icon" field from your shortcut's Properties pane.
If an icon is set and it's still not shown, try setting it manually after installation to see if the icon is valid.

I am deploying my wpf exe file using VS 2019 setup project. I am using webview2 in my wpf and I am able to see the result however my client machine is not able get any result .
Is there any way apart from what is mentioned in webview runtime documents mentioned by Microsoft.
Any simple way to install webview while user is installing the wpf setup ?
You can refer Webview distribution
There are 2 way to get the root cause,
just check app.exe.Webview2 folder is generated in your exe folder path.
is webviewloder.dll is present or not ?
and if you want simple way to install the webview2 while installation then just download the microsoftWebviewSetup.exe and include the exe file in your custom action
steps:
create a setup project
in application folder add your wpf exe and webview2 exe
right click on project -> View -> custom action
open the custom action -> Install -> add the webView2.exe
run the setup.exe it will install the webviewruntime also
Can't find where to change the default startup browser on Ubuntu. When I start pgAdmin4 the default browser opens, but I would like to start a different browser (eg: Firefox). In windows you can right click the service, but I'm stuck finding the way to change this on Unbuntu.
With the latest version of pgAdmin4, developers have added copy URL option on right click on tray icon, Download the latest version then right click on pgAdmin4 tray icon which will give you option to Copy URL, once you click that option then open your desired browser and paste the URL and hit Enter.
And you are good to go :)
Also, there is an option to run the custom browser command also.
In new chrome versions you can run pgAdmin 4 as "native" desktop app. While the pgAdmin v4 web server is running, right click the icon in the Windows System Tray and select Configure... In the Browser Command input add the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app=%URL%
Note: Above path can change for you in Ubuntu.
If you want to run in chrome browser window, configure command like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" %URL%
Note: Above path can change for you in Ubuntu.
Hope this helps.
It is kind of a trick. It is quite fast to change the default browser in ubuntu, then run pg admin and change the default browser back. Did not found how to do it like in windows.
I created a sample Codename One project in netbeans and generated a desktop build.while installing .exe its not giving me the provision to select specific location to install.
Once I got the exe from codename one dashboard,I installed the .exe and it got installed in default folder like c://user/AppData/...enter image description here
The goal we had when we created this was to make the installation minimal just like a mobile phone/tablet installer. The experience might be slightly different for the ZuluFX version where we have more control over the result.
If not you can try the MSI build (not supported for Zulu) which might give you a better install experience.
I have a WPF ClickOnce application where all the icons have been changed including the Application icon in Properties -> Application -> Icon and Manifest.
When installing the udated WPF app, where the updated version of the app is detected when running the original app, all icons are updated except the icon in the Start Menu (Windows 10 PC).
NOTE: Running the installation on a clean PC with no previous installation of the app will update the Start Menu icon to the new icon.
I have tried deleting the IconCache.db in %LocalAppData% and restarted the PC, but it is still the old Start Menu icon that is used.
I've built an Out-Of-Browser application using Silverlight, which if right-clicked while running in-browser gives you the "Install BlaBla Application onto this computer" option.
This works just fine on my Windows 7 machine and I get the icon added to my desktop. On my OS X testbox however, I still get the install option when I right-click on the application, but it doesn't do anything. I click the option to install and absolutely nothing happens.
What's the deal with that? I've written the app in Silverlight 4, and have the latest version of Silverlight installed on my OS X box. Why won't the app install and run OOB?
Thanks in advance!
