When you are in the project manager, click on the Project menu item. Select Project Info and identify an Icon. You also do this in the Setup wizard. Toward the end, when you get the list of all the files to be included in the Setup CAB file, you will check the box next to the file that is the Program Manager item. This identifies which file is the "executable." You will then get a dialogue box for a Description and command line. The command line should be something like
%s\MyProg.EXE You can also identify an icon there.
