Question vb.net deployment shows notepad-like icon

After following Jayesh Jain's excellent tutorial "Deploying Applications in VB.NET: Part 1/2", DevArticles November 04, 2002 I successfully made a deployment package for my VB.NET project, but when installed, the desktop icon looks like a notepad/text icon. The deployed package did not apply the icon I made to represent my project. This leads to two questions:

1. How do I control which icon will be used by the deployed desktop shortcut?

2. Is Part 2/2 of Jayesh's article available somewhere? I wasn't able to find it with google.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Herb

Custom Icon needs to be included in deployment project

Sometimes just asking the question is enought. After posting this question, I hacked the answer. Once I added my custom icon to the deployment project within my 'solution', then I could

1. Click on 'User's Desktop'
2. Right-click on my shortcut, and select 'Properties Window'
3. Select 'icon' and 'browse'
4. Select my custom icon and click 'OK'.
5. Click Build/Rebuild Setup

Having done the above, my installation shows my custom icon.
Thanks for being there.

I am posting this in case it may be of help to someone else...

Best Regards,
Herb
