[wix-users] Customize Windows Installer Icon (Computer Icon with CD image)

I think I finally get what Ven wants.
If I am right, just as it is possible to set ARPPRODUCTICON, and to set
the application icon, shortcut icon etc, is it possible to use a custom
icon for the MSI instead of the standard installer icon?

I have looked for this in the past and haven't found it.

Thanks a lot, Rob. I am not sure how to change this. Also, in that case,
can't I package this icon as part of my installer? Can you please provide
some more info?

Regards,
Venkatesh
