Not common knowledge but admittedly outside of working with C#/.NET for a bit to get my company going I am clearly a neophyte when it comes to the ins and outs of the Windows Installer. :-) > The icon for SETUP.EXE is defined in the in a .RC (resource compiler) file. > What I copy .\inc\wix.rc to into the same directory as setup.rc and changed > the name of the file to Wintellect.rc.

The only changes I had to make to the above were for: - my company name. - removing header files from my.rc that weren't needed or relevant. - changing names and versions in winver.h, etc. - making sure that 'ICON' was enclosed in quotes to ensure that C++ compiler didn't choke on ".." in its provided location.
