Customise setup.exe icon from default using InstallShield LE

Question

So I am trying to figure out whether I can add a custom icon to the final install file (setup.exe). Currently, the project is using the InstallShield icon as shown below:

I cannot find any field to change to customise the setup.exe icon.

Do I need to upgrade to InstallShield 2012 Express/Professional/Premier to be able to change this field? I don't want to use something like Resource Hacker to edit the contents of the .exe as this will change the hash of the file/may pose signing problems as well.

Currently using:

• InstallShield 2012 Spring Limited Edition
• Visual Studio 2010

@markmuetz, not as of yet, but I will do more research this week and get back to you. – Copro

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I don't think this is not supported by Install Shield Limited Edition. From the Flexera website product features:

Specify Custom Icon and Version Resource Properties Modify the icon and version resource properties to match your company and product branding.

This only has ticks for the Premier and Professional versions of Install Shield, and I think this is talking about the installer's icon.

This leaves a tool such as Resource Hacker, but as eggy pointed out, this could cause problems.
