InstallAware

In my installer I have this:

      if Variable SUCCESS Equals COMPLETE
        Run Program under UAC $TARGETDIR$\foo.exe 
      end

It works as expected on windows 7 and 10 but when run on windows 8.1 the icon for it on the taskbar is just a blank document. When its closed and opened from the shortcut it has the correct icon. The problem is only when run from the installer the first time. How do I make the correct icon display for windows 8.1?

thanks

Dear sol952,

what you are reporting I don't believe has nothing to do with InstallAware.

This may depends on the resources included with your "foo.exe". This should include a BMP or an ICON for the different scaled version of the application logo (eg, 256x256, 128x128, 48x48 and so on). The system uses such BMP resource to represent the different sizes of the app logo ... due of this, it may be possible that some of these scaled versions of the application logo are blank.

Regards
