Hi,
All of our executables built using PB 2019 are missing application icons. Could you let us know how to resolve this issue? I reviewed relevant Q&A but couldn't find satisfactory answer.
I will really appreciate your help.
Thanks
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay ... The icon issue started in PB 2019 R2 build 2323. Build #2170 should be OK. That was the last MR for the GA version of PB 2019 before R2 was released.

Correct ... MR2328 had a fix for the missing App icon.

Well, I'm on 2353 and it's been happening to me too after migrations from 2017:(
Solution: go into the application object. Assign an empty string for the icon, apply save.
go back in again: assign the correct icon again with full path, "Apply" button, then I delete the path and only leave the icon name, as the icons are in the same folder as the application object's pbl (and in the pbr file).
Solved.

Yep, No path. I've been doing it that way since PB 1.0. ?

Hi, I just checked and my PB 2019 R2 #2323 deploys app's icon as part of .EXE file. It displays in Windows Explorer as expected.
How I do it:
- Application Painter > Properties Pane > General > [Additional Properties] > Icon > Icon Name
- Strip off path so filename is as short as possible. (screen shot #1)
Sometimes my graphics are in subfolder, like "resources/favicon.ico".
Never C:\DEV\ . . . - Deploy app using project painter
- Look at .EXE file in Windows Explorer => Image displayed
- Run app => Desktop taskbar displays app's icon (see screen shot #2)
Never had a problem with app icons nor images in general when my filenames strip off excess path.

This worked for me. The app icon started showing up after removing the path explicitly. I am not sure why we didn't have to do this in earlier versions. Thanks for your help.

Accidentally I started with empty string. Assigned with full path. Then removed path. So accidentally I followed you recipe. DIdn't realise though so my solution was "trust luck" it seems.
Well it's just old way of doing it isn't it.
I did find it strange that it happened to all of my applications after migrating them from 2017 R3 to 2019 R2.
Just a one time thing I hope.
