Hi Guys,
When developing for Windows is there a way to create an installer which gives an optional for creating an icon in the Windows Start Menu and on the Desktop?
Thanks
For start menu the icon (a tile) can be changed in visual studio within the manifest, or in unity in player settings (default icon)… this is for windows store apps though. You can add (in visual studio) different types of tiles, which can be kind cool:
If you are building for x86 (non-windows store), you can add various icons again in player settings in Unity, but you will need to build an installer package if you plan to distribute it yourself.
The easiest way by far in my experience is it use Inno Setup. It has a wizard to get you started and it’s quite easy to customize. Latest version has support for some Windows 8 specific features, but I haven’t explored those at any length. It is more than capable of creating Start Menu and desktop shortcuts.
