Windows 7?

[medokin]

Sorry...

Yes, Win 7 Pro 64 Bit.

OK - I'll look into it. This is probably a bug with an icon changer in the installer. Thanks.

it also happens on windows 8.1

epifany edit: it may be a problem with windows' icons cache, to solve it you can run the following script without windows explorer running:

CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a
EXIT

Thanks @madcampos - I'll try this out.

I can't recreate the issue in Win 8.1 (which is what I developed Fenix on)... anything special about your install?

[madcampos]

Well... i think no, i can't think of any drastical change i've made to it... but the battle.net app icon is havving the same problem. they suggest to change it mannualy: http://www.blizzposts.com/topic/en/240487/battlenet-launcherexe-has-generic-white-icon-in-windows-8-taskbar it may have to do with the icon's index inside the .exe file... one possible sollution is to make a .lnk file that has the correct icon and then link to the .lnk file instead of the .exe file, as it will have the custom icon

Same issue on my W7. I changed it manually to link to the good icons folder. Before it was linking to your own desktop install

@fxbenard - thanks for mentioning that. That's an issue that's tough to find on a dev machine when you think it's populating the path correctly. This is definitely an issue with the installer not populating the path of the icon appropriately, so I'll mark it as such. I should be able to do a round of updates in the next few days, and I'll try to get this into the next update.

Same thing on Windows 10. The icon its looking for is hard coded to user Corey instead of having the proper user variable:

Windows can't find the file %SystemDrive%\Users\Corey\Documents\workspace\Fenix\application\dist\win32\lib\icons\fenix.ico.

For me the correct icon path was: C:\ProgramData\Fenix\lib\icons\fenix.ico

Issue still present in V2.0.0, Win7 Pro X64.

[matteocontrini]

Still there with latest version and Windows 10 build 14393

I have the same issue. My system: Windows 7, 32-bit. I get this error when I try to reset the icon (like @sevin7676 said, some hardcoded path is used somewhere):
