[wix-users] No icon in ARP

[Andreas Orzyszek]

There is a documentation How To for this.

http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/configure_arp_appearance.html

You just need to add two more lines.

You can only change the icon in ARP, not the one of the msi file itself.
