    Hello,

    I'm playing with the installer framework 1.5. I want to replace the icon of the installer.exe, but it doesn't work:

    @<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Installer>
    <Name>Change installer UI Example</Name>
    <Version>1.0.0</Version>
    <Title>Change installer UI Example</Title>
    <Publisher>Qt-Project</Publisher>
    <InstallerWindowIcon>penguin.png</InstallerWindowIcon>
    <InstallerApplicationIcon>penguin.ico</InstallerApplicationIcon>
    <Logo>logo.png</Logo>
    <Watermark>watermark.png</Watermark>
    <Background>background.png</Background>
    <StartMenuDir>Change installer UI Example</StartMenuDir>
    <TargetDir>@HomeDir@/IFWChangeInstallerUIExample</TargetDir>
    </Installer>
    @

    Also, the installer uses a static build, if I distribute the installer, will it violate the lgpl license?

    I also need to update some registry keys at the end of installation, how do I do it?

    Thanks,

      I can answer my own question now.

      the ico file I'm using doesn't provide a small version (16x16). when I switched to "view with large icons" in the file browser, I could see it.

      I still have the question that if using the installer framework for commercial app will violate the lgpl license?

        for the registry keys, you can add an operation for GlobalConfig in the install script.

        component.addOperation("GlobalConfig","HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MYCOMPANY\MYAPP","TESTKEY","42");
