In the "File System" of the deployment project, make sure you have added a shortcut in the "Start Menu Folder" that points to the primary output of your application in the "Application Folder".

You shouldn't have to use a *.png to set the icon manually, unless you wanted to change the icon the application was built with. So it seems like the shortcut is somehow not pointed quite right? Since the *.exe shows the icon, perhaps verify that the shortcut is placed, named, and pointed properly.

KliptiK: thank you for the link. that was a great write-up. amazing how you can search and search and find nothing of help, then you change the word-order of the search, or use a different combination and voila...the answer!

i was able to get my .cab built, deployed to my complete satisfaction.

thanks again!
