How can I set the Windows 11's Settings->Apps->Installed apps icon with NSIS?

I have an NSIS installer that I create with cmake. This installer has an embedded icon (an .ico file) and it shows fine on the .exe installer, on the application shortcut, and on the taskbar when minimized.

However, the NSIS installer does not create an icon for Windows 11's Settings->Apps->Installed apps. Is there some NSIS code I can add to make the icon show up there too?

Thanks in advance

Have a look in "Examples\makensis.nsi", and go to the "-post" section. This is where the uninstaller stuff happens for registering the app and its uninstaller, which you can adapt for your app.

(NSIS does not automatically write anywhere on its own, you have to specifically opt in)
