How can i use an icon as uninstall icon whose size is not the same as install icon?
i find it is hard to make an icon the same size as the install icon.

so can the uninstall icon's size be not the same as install icon?


You can pack a resource editor, such as Resource Hacker, in the installer and manually change the icon with it after creating the uninstaller.


i can't find the uninstall icon in resouces,
only install icon, why?

how to replace?


Create the uninstaller and you'll see it. It replaces the installer's icon after the installer is copied over as an uninstaller. That's why they are required to be the same size.
