I'm using wix (3.11) to create a msi installation for a WPF application. The application icon is correctly working on program launch, in the program list (apps and features), and in my program menu and desktop shortcuts. The only issue is that when I search for the application after pressing the windows key, the older, stale icon that I used a few weeks ago appears. I'm almost certain that this is some windows caching issue as I have removed the stale icon from the application altogether, rebuilt the installer and reinstalled, and still the old icon appears during search. I'm curious if other members have encountered this issue and what they did to remedy it. Thanks!

Not sure if you need to rebuild the icon cache or fix indexing issues.

For Indexing:

  1. Type "indexing" in the start menu (or internationalized equivalent word), Click open.
  2. Click the Advanced button.
  3. In the Index Settings tab, click the Rebuild button under Troubleshooting. OK to confirm.

Index rebuilding should start. This Indexing applet is also available from the old-style control panel in "icons" view. Just search for "control panel" or equivalent internationalized words.
