How to clear IconCache in windows7 via NSIS

Question

Hi folks!

I have a problem with installing of my application via NSIS in windows 7. Application installs successfully, but instead of myApplicationsIcon windows shows generic icon. I know how to fix this problem manually(delete IconCache.db in AppData\Local), but how can I do this with NSIS-script?

Regards, Dmitry.

Answer 1

Did you try calling SHChangeNotify first?

If that is not enough, use the delete instruction and the $localappdata constant

Answer 2

If your exe file is extremely large, Windows will sometimes not display the icon.
