In Wix by default It has been set with default installer icon, but I would like to set my company icon at this physical installer. How can I do this?

The icon you are asking about is managed by Windows Installer and can't be changed. It is a default icon assigned to all MSI packages by the OS. You can change the default icon for all MSI packages in the system registry, but this is most likely not what you're trying to do.

  • Previously I had been used InstaShield MSI Installer provided by Flextra. In this installer by default comes with a default image. I'm doing now conversion from Instalshield to Wix. – Smaug Apr 30 '13 at 13:02

    Was that output file actually an MSI? It could have been a bootstraper (exe), and that's totally different thing – Yan Sklyarenko Apr 30 '13 at 13:41

    Absolutely your are right, which was exe. I'm clarified now. Thanks yan. – Smaug Apr 30 '13 at 13:50
  • @YanSklyarenko do you have any idea to set the bootstraper (.exe) icon? – sky91 Aug 08 '17 at 01:26

    @sky91, it looks like the `IconSourceFile` attribute of the `` element is what you need: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/bundle.html – Yan Sklyarenko Aug 08 '17 at 12:49
  • As a compliment to the icon being asked about there is the ability to set the installer's icon in Add/Remove Programs so they match: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/configure_arp_appearance.html – Rickchip Jan 25 '19 at 22:31
  • Unfortunately `IconSourceFile` only applies to `` but I only have `Product` tag. Any other way to set the icon? – Saeid Nourian Jun 19 '20 at 00:22
