Is there a way to specify the application icon for a ClickOnce application manifest using Mage/MageUI?

Question

I need a way to specify an application icon for a ClickOnce deployment. Basically this will be the icon shown for the application shortcut in the Start Menu - Program Files, also during the installation of the application. I can do this from the Visual Studio IDE (by specifying the application icon in the application tab of the project properties).

But I can not figure out a way to do this using Mage/MageUI. Is there way to do this using Mage/MageUI?

I disagree; that is not a duplicate; one relates to the manifest, one is a desktop icon - entirely different — Marc Gravell, Jul 01 '09 at 07:09

At the command line, from here - e.g.

mage -New Application -ToFile MyApplication.exe.manifest -Name "My Application" -Version 1.0.0.0 -FromDirectory bin -IconFile ApplicationIcon.ico

In MageUI, from here - set the icon's File Type to Icon File on the Files list.

Thanks Marc. This helped. Sorry for the delayed response. – karthik Jul 21 '09 at 10:25

The docs say to use a full path but that's impossible if the clickonce is an office addin, it puts your directory at a pretty obfuscated looking path. – The Muffin Man Aug 28 '14 at 19:26
