The <windowsExecutableIcon> property allows you to modify the icon on Windows system for your installers. The icon must be in Windows .ico format. You just need to place this new property under the <project> element:

  <windowsExecutableIcon>/path/to/the/icon/file</windowsExecutableIcon>

Please note that the icon file can contain up to three different icons that must match one of the following formats:
  • - 16 x 16 pixels, 256 colors (you can see it on Explorer -> View -> Either "List" or "Details")

  • - 32 x 32 pixels, 256 colors (you can see it on Explorer -> View -> "Icons")

  • - 48 x 48 pixels, 256 colors (you can see it on Explorer -> View -> Either "Tiles" or "Thumbnails")

Any other icon formats are not supported right now and will be ignored by the application. This feature is only supported in InstallBuilder 5.2.0 and later.
