Here is a tip how to add an icon to 7Zip (or any other MSI that doesn't contain an icon): Download and install Orca. Right click on the 7Zip MSI installed > Edit with Orca in Orca go to Transform > New Transform Hit CTRL+T to add a new table. (or right click in the Table pane > Add Tables) Select Icon from the list. Click the Icon table and add a new row: Right click > Add Row Enter Row Name; Data: browse to a file that contains the Icon. I usually just browse to the application EXE of the installed application as it contains an icon but you can browse to an ICO file as well. Orca will read the Binary data of the file. Now go to the Property table and add a new row: Property: ARPPRODUCTICON Value: Name of the Icon row (in my case it's 7zFM.exe) The ARPPRODUCTICON property specifies the foreign key to the Icon table, which is the primary icon for the Windows Installer package. You can now either save the transform (MST) file and apply it during the installation or you can save the MSI. Best practice is to keep the original MSI and only save the MST file, but it's up to you what you'll do. You can now install your application with the MST file: msiexec /i "7Zip.msi" TRANSFORMS=7Zip.mst /qn
