Application icon?

Windows XP; Adobe AIR SDK 3.1.0.4880

I have just started using Adobe AIR this week.  I made a litte test app at home, following http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ecc.html

After completing the app, and installing it, it created a desktop shortcut with an AIR icon.  The application itself also has a little AIR icon in the upper left corner.

Today I created a real little app on Windows XP.  This time no icon appeared on the desktop, nor on the application Window:

Anyone knows why this difference, with the same AIR SDK?

Hi Pat,

Can you post your app desctiptor xml file?  You should be able to set different size icon in the <icon> section of the descriptor file (though remember to uncomment it before building).

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry, I was wrong - my memory was slightly incorrect.

When running the installed HelloWorld app it looks like

What I remembered was when testing, it looked like

Now my question is: how can we get the AIR, or any other icon into the installed app window?

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply.  I have added the <icon> tag to my descriptor file, as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1">
    <id>examples.html.HelloWorld</id>
    <versionNumber>0.3</versionNumber>
    <filename>HelloWorld</filename>
    <initialWindow>
        <content>HelloWorld.html</content>
        <visible>true</visible>
        <width>400</width>
        <height>200</height>
        <icon>
            <image16x16>C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AIRSDK\samples\icons\AIRApp_16.png</image16x16>
            <image32x32>C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AIRSDK\samples\icons\AIRApp_32.png</image32x32>
            <image48x48>C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AIRSDK\samples\icons\AIRApp_48.png</image48x48>
            <image128x128>C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AIRSDK\samples\icons\AIRApp_128.png</image128x128>
    </icon>
    </initialWindow>
</application>

However, when trying to build the application I get the following error

Error 103: application.initialWindow.icon is an unexpected element/attribute
