add/remove program icon

Sometimes the correct icon is displayed and sometimes not. Has anyone experianced a problem with the correct add/remove icon being displayed in the add/remove program entries.

are you adding a displayicon string in the registry along with your uninstallstring or are you letting windows guess the icon?

You are correct. After reviewing the NSIS add/remove documentation, I noticed the optional value for displayicon. Writing that Windows registry value did resolve the problem. Apparently, Windows does try to guess if you don't include it. Sometimes correctly and sometimes not.
