MSI (Icon) problem....



I have created a Setup projet and start populating it.
Because my project use heaps of DLLs and it's user config, I create a /bin
subdirectory where I put all the 'junk' binaries and just create a few
shortcuts in the app folder (and appropriate start menu folders as well).

Now I Just create a .chm help file (which should be in the /bin folder as
well to be found by the Help class).
Anyway when I want to create shortcut to it in the app directory (and in the
start menu folder) I get this 'ugly' (certainly inappropriate) default icon.

I would like to use the default CHM icons, and I don't have it, nor I'm very
keen on finding it and install it, I hope there is a way to setup a 'default
icon' for my link.
But all I found was to use Icon allready in my setup project or its
executables.

Anyway to use a default icon?
Like creating a link to an HTML file using the IE icon?



Also I would like to setup a menu in the Quick Launch, I can't find how to
do that...

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw
one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war
is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.
