3. Select this icon in Application properties Resources group.
4. On Publish page enter some local Publish Location and random Installation URL.
5. Click Publish now.
6. Run clickonce_icon_1_0_0_0.application from selected Publish Location.

7. Open Add or Remove Programs dialog - right now clickonce_icon app icon is correct (shows "page").
8. Rename source development folder (e.g. rename "e:\programming\clickonce_icon" to "clickonce_iconx") or install app on separate clean computer and refresh Add or Remove Programs dialog - icon is incorrect now (shows "setup").
9. copy %systemdrive%windows\system32\dfshim.dll "%homedrive%%homepath%"

Thanks for your feedback on the .NET Framework! As you may have seen in DevDiv VP - S. Somasegar’s blog on the topic (http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2006/05/18/601354.aspx) the next release of the .NET Framework (codenamed “Orcas”) requires a high degree of backwards compatibility. As such we are not able to address this issue with a fix in the .NET Framework in the Orcas timeframe. Many customers have found it useful to discuss issues like this in the forums (http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/default.aspx?siteid=1) where Microsoft and other members of the community can suggest workarounds.

Before we even begin work on the next release of the NET Framework release where we can make changes like this one we will devote time to addressing the top issues (in terms of number of votes, lack of workarounds, etc). So please do continue to vote for this item if it is causing issues.

Thanks and keep the feedback coming.

You mentioned about having an attachment. However, there is no file showing up under "Attachments". It seems that it didn't come through. I'd appreciate your trying one more time to include the attachment.
