title: Icon not shown on desktop shortcut with Visual Studio setup project
body: <p>In the file system area of my visual Studio 2015 setup project, I have created a shortcut that points to a .BAT file that has been added to the project in the application directory.  I edited the properties for the shortcut and specified an Icon that is in the application directory as well.</p>
  
  <p>When I build and run the install, the desktop shortcut has a default windows icon instead of the one I selected.   If I check the properties, the button to select a new icon is disabled.  That led me to the discussion here:</p>

  <p>I ran the setup with the parameter to disable the advertised shortcuts and the button to select a new icon is now enabled and I can manually select the icon, however, on install, the default icon is still displayed.</p>
  
  <p>If I go in to properties for the created icon and attempt to manually set the icon, I get the following message: "The file %SystemRoot%\Installer{D0981E95-0351-4CA4-9315372F337F244}_8FA4153355CE75C35E4132.exe contains no icons.  Choose an icon from the list or specify a different file."</p>
  
  <p>The icon I'm referencing is a 256x256 icon file.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea why I can't get the icon I select for the shortcut to "stick"?</p>
