radigast Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) I've made a silent install of Office 2007, and zipped all of that into a self-made 7Zip sfx with it's own custom icon/version info. However, after the .exe is zipped and compiled, my custom icon/version info simply doesn't show. To make matters more confusing, when I copy the self-made .exe to VMWare, the icon/version info shows up. When I copy it back, the icon/version still doesn't show. The .exe installs flawlessly in both normal Windows and VMWare, so there is not any corruption. What's going on? None of the other 40+ custom/silent installers I have made have this problem...To show you what I mean, here are 2 screenshots:VMWare screenshot -->icon -->propertiesNormal Windows Screenshot -->icon -->propertiesAnyone have any insights? Again, these are both the EXACT same file. The first is when I copied to VMWare, the second is on my native Windows.**EDIT - Fixed typos** Edited May 12, 2008 by radigast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark007 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Stupid windows. Anyway you know of to "fix" this glitch?sometimes... i repeat SOMETIMES, using the system provided disk cleanup utility to remove thumbnail caches can correct this issue.You've made lots of repacks...when this happens to you, what do you do?When this happens and I KNOW for fact the file isnt corrupted, I ignore the glitch and move on to my next task.shark Edited May 12, 2008 by Shark007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radigast Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks Shark. I am annoyed (Office took FOREVER to pack into the 7z SFX, and I was hoping to see my sweet icon/custom info as a geeky reward), but I'll just grin and bear it. Thanks again.
