Right click on you windows application project, select properties. In the properties window, select the application tab. In the application tab, there is a radio button saying Icon and manifest. Select that and browse and select your custom icon for the application in the Icon drop down menu.
Thnks
You can change the icon of the application inside the Windows Application itself. And put that application in the setup project.
Right click the WinApp Project and inside the Application section you can choose and Icon which will be an ico file. Browse for the icon file and select it. Build the project and attach it to the setup project.
Right click on Primary Output of Your Project and Select Create Shortcut. Give it a name and then click on its properties and set the icon.
In the setup project you cannot change the primary output's icons. You can create new shortcuts on the desktop etc and apply custom icons on those.
I add the same issue. I tried all the above answers but I were not to add my ico
This was happening because the the name of the ico was to long et the pixel size was to big. After renaming my ico to as smaller name like gs.ico and resize it to 48X48 pixel, it worked
