How do I get the URL icon in a Visual Studio installation project?
I have a winforms application that is deployed with the Standard Windows Installer (MSI) built in visual studio. I would like to create a custom shortcut that launches a specific url.
The shortcut must have its own icon associated with it.
All I can find is the ability to add a shortcut to an item in the project files (output or manually added files)

I found a way to do this - first you create a regular shortcut URL in the icon folder folder in the same folder, then add them as regular files to the installer, and finally, use the installer interface to create the shortcut.
Essentially, a shortcut points to a shortcut that knows the location of the icon file as it refers to the second shortcut.
