Qt Installer Framework: how to specify the desktop icon

Pt_develop

I've started working with the Qt Installer Framework and find it useful except for the numerous undocumented features (e.g., setting the wizard subTitle or the existence of the DesktopDir variable) but one thing I haven't been able to figure out by code inspection is when you create a desktop shortcut how can you specify the icon?

I can create the shortcut just fine with

component.addOperation("CreateShortcut",td,dd);

where td is the executable path and dd is the link (but note: I haven't been able to make the installer operation

 boolean performOperation(string name, stringlist arguments)

work)

however I haven't been able to figure out how to set the desktop shortcut icon.

There must be a way because in the downloaded Qt Installer Framework installation the desktop shortcut icon isn't generic but is specified. I've tried looking at the code and in createshortcutoperation.cpp is the code

const QString iconId = takeArgument(QString::fromLatin1("iconId="), &args);

const QString iconPath = takeArgument(QString::fromLatin1("iconPath="), &args);

const QString workingDir = takeArgument(QString::fromLatin1("workingDirectory="), &args);

so I unsuccessfully tried

component.addOperation("CreateShortcut",td,dd,"iconPath="+iconPath);

where iconPath is the path to the icon.

Does anyone know how Qt specifies their desktop shortcut icon?

Close. Just had to add the working directory and get admin rights.
