Using custom Icon

phisuio · 17th May 2007, 15:59

Hi,
I simply want to use my own icon file for the installer, so I use this code:
!define MUI_ICON "C:\myicon.ico"

but I get this error:
Error finding icon resources: installer, uninstaller number of icons doesn't match ...

the help says, it needs three icons at 8bps 32x32, 16x16, 8x8. I tried doing so, but didn't get it working.
So my options are:
1) Generate one ICO file with these three icons in (how?)
2) Use only the 32x32 icon (but NSIS says it needs three in one ICO-file) (how?)

Thanks for any help!

Solved. Install and uninstall icon must be in same formats. I used the tool "ArtIcons Pro" to make them the same.
