Thanks a lot, Rob. This Icon
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27208636/appropriate-icon-for-windows-8-installer>
is
shown in so many places like on the installer file, on the top left corner
of all the dialogs, in the status bar during installation and so on. So, we
cannot change in any of these places? I understand that we can change the
icon shown in the ARP section of Control Panel.

Regards,
Venkatesh
