Is it possible to customize the icon of an MSI file created using the WiX tool for a .NET project, rather than using the default icon suggested by the Windows system? User's image

    Hi, @india-drive

    MSI icon is managed by Windows Installer and cannot be changed. It is the default icon assigned by the operating system to all MSI packages.
