Application icon doesn't show in control panel add/remove programs

Question

I have a .Net app deployed via click-once. The app icon shows fine on the start menu, task bar etc., but not in Add / Remove Programs in the control panel. What do I need to do to fix this? TIA

This isn't supported by ClickOnce (although I keep asking for it).

I collected the following code ages ago, but have never had time to try it out. I'd put a try/catch around it in case it causes a problem. Let me know if it works. ;-)

RegistryKey myUninstallKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall");
    string[] mySubKeyNames = myUninstallKey.GetSubKeyNames();
    for (int i = 0; i < mySubKeyNames.Length; i++)
    {
     RegistryKey myKey = myUninstallKey.OpenSubKey(mySubKeyNames , true);
     object myValue = myKey.GetValue("DisplayName");
     if (myValue != null && (string)myValue == _ApplicationName)
     {
      myKey.SetValue("DisplayIcon", _ExecutablePath + @"\App.ico");
      break;
     }
    }
