Installation Icons (NSIS)
I tried 100 different ways to use my own icons in my installer but nothing worked.
I have attached the icons I created.
Please tell me what is wrong.

Thank you very much in advance.

It works for me. Have you tried putting your icons in the '${NSISDIR}\contrib\graphics\icons' directory and including them this way?

Icon "${NSISDIR}\contrib\graphics\icons\shortcutter-install.ico"
UninstallIcon "${NSISDIR}\contrib\graphics\icons\shortcutter-uninstall.ico"

If your installer is in the root directory and is writing your uninstaller to $EXEDIR\Uninstall.exe, it will fail. Sorry, I don't see any other way of fixing it (the icons are fine).

When using the Modern UI see the MUI_ICON and MUI_UNICON interface settings.

Is it possible to use different icons for branding image (something that by default is NSIS icon at the right of the installer header) and for installer exe icon?

@Yurik
It is however you will have to add the icons to the installer using something like ResHacker, then get a handle on the installer itself, read the icon, get a handle on the window where you want the icon to appear and replace it with the new icon. I posted a Wiki page a while ago along those lines.

Thank you, CancerFace!
Hopefully, I've found that it is enough for my installer to use MUI_ICON along with MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP.

I think I was too fast to reply in the first place as I misread your question. I thought you wanted to change the icon and not the branding image. My bad. The method I referred you to can add more icons and show them.

I have changed my icon using that code and it worked :)
I can use so many icons for the program.exe :)
