No you _can't_. That will embed hh.exe, which isn't yours to redistribute, in your MSI. You could open hh.exe in a resource editor (e.g. in Visual Studio, go to File > Open > File, select the file, then click the down-arrow next to Open and select Open With..., then pick Resource Editor from the list) then copy the icon to a file (e.g. right-click it and choose Export.) You can then embed it in your own resource-only DLL.
That's still dodgy from a copyright perspective but I don't think there's any way to just get Windows Installer to use the icon for the associated file type (which is ridiculous). Microsoft's position on cloning icons for standard metaphors, so that icons are used consistently across the whole system, has generally been permissive, however. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of SaiTeja Sent: 08 January 2008 04:40 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to create help file shortcut icon?
