My edited icon does not replace the previous version on the desktop

I use CVI 7.0 on Windows XP. I used CVI icon editor to create an icon 32 x 32 for my application. The target parameters build cutting edge of window to file icon and displays correctly. I also created a group of files in the window of Distribution Kit and the group contains only the .exe with the option to create shortcuts on the desktop. I build dist kit and install it, him and everything is fine. The icon appears on the desktop and launches the application.

The problem is when I change the icon file. The modified version appears in the settings of the target (great so far), but when I have the dist of rebuilding kit and install it, the old desktop icon is not replaced by the new although the old icon still launches the latest version of the app. I have not changed the GUID between generations, so running setup.exe kit dist first deletes the previous version of the application and its icon on the desktop. The second round of setup.exe installs the new version of app but the old icon.

If I change the name of the icon file every time then the correct icon appears on the desktop. However I prefer to use a generic icon for each version file name. It of like CVI or Windows associates the first version of an app icon and remembers that the association is updated using a different icon file name.

So the question is, how can I make sure that the latest version of the icon appears on the desktop do not have to change the file name each time?

Mark,

I got a solution to nickb. This can be found at http://decibel.ni.com/content/message/8480#8480. I'm new to these forums, so I don't know why it seems to be in a different for your response area, unless somehow I posted the original question in two areas. In any case, in case there is something wrong with the link, the solution is to delete the cvibuild. Directory and then recompile the project. I found more than remove the resources.res file was sufficient. As I said to nickb, it would be good if CVI deleted this directory automatically to ensure a clean build each time.

Thank you for your time.

Tom.

    If you paste a file into a folder that already has a file with the SAME file name, you will be informed and asked to choose one of the following:
    1. do not copy
    2. copy and replace those already on file
    3. copy and keep both.

    Perhaps, you have chosen the 3rd weight?

  • The battery status icon does not display the symbol of the AC power cord when the laptop is running on the current and recharge

    I have a Compaq presario with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. A few years after an update of Windows, the status of battery in the systray ICON ceased to display the amount of time left on the battery and it stopped display the symbol of the AC power cord when it was being turned off of the AC adapter.  If I remove the battery, then the cord appears.  Put it back in the slot and the rope faints and I have the same shape of rectangle get you if the computer is running on battery only.  Any ideas how I can get the cord to display when AC power feeds the laptop.

    The accumulator is recharged, but there is no busy indication, apart from the height of solid white fill.

    Hi Graeme,

    Thanks again for the update.

    Laptop computer should turn on without the battery when it is connected directly to the power source. As Techgod said it could be a hardware problem, it is possible that the problem is with the battery.

    I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the laptop to get help.

  • buy xp disc does not because no previous versions of windows

    Hi Geez_984,

    ·         You have Windows on your computer?

    ·         Where to get the recovery disk?

    If this isn't the case, then this sounds like using an upgrade disc. You should probably buy the full version of Windows XP and not the recovery disc you are using.

  • olecnv32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not have the calculated checksum

    When I tried to start the desktop computer with Windows XP operating system, I get the message "olecnv.dll is possibly corrupt. ' the checksum of header not the checksum calculated. the screen will not forward.

    Please advise to Prime the system.

    Udaya

    If the olecnv32.dll file is corrupted, you will see an error like this:

    STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}
    Olecnv32.dll image is possibly corrupt.  The header checksum does not match the checksum calculated.

    Curiously, if the file is completely absent or has a length of zero byte XP will start just fine without it.

    Given that it is one of 3498 files Windows File Protection deals with, it must be another copy of the file on your system is the dllcache folder.

    As Wunders says you can make a Hiren boot CD and Mini XP mode, see if you can find a copy of the file in one of these folders (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive):

    c:windows\system32\dllcache
    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you can find a copy, rename your a suspect and replace it with the copy and see what things look like.

    If you can't find a copy, there is one on my SkyDrive, you can download and network disks to the system afflicted by using a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk.  You should always use Hiren for this method.

    If that all sounds complicated to and you do not have a genuine XP installation CD bootable from where you can start in the XP Recovery Console, you can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and see if you can replace the file from there to the replace.  I can send you instructions if you need to know how to do this.

    I hear Support Engineer "experts" hired by Microsoft, which suggests that you run sfc/scannow to replace the file missing, but that won't work because this is what sfc/scannow does, this isn't how it works and it's not what it is for.  I know that it does not replace the file because I tried.

    If you need to download the file, here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called olecnv32 when the name of the file should really be called olecnv32.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.
