Hello,

Using PB 2022 R3 build 3356

We created one exe with one particular ICON [ set at Application - Additional Properties - Icon ] and copied the exe, pbds, PB runtimes into clients 'computers.  When we created a shortcut for the application, the icon that we set, got displayed in all computers.  No issues.

How we copy the newer version of application is.

1.  First we copy all Exe, PBD's to a location in Server machine [ Windows Server 2012 R2 ].
2.  Then from there we copy to a local drive of other computer through a batch file.  Copying works great, if the application at other computer is not running.

Now we modified the ICON to a new one.   After this modification, as usual, we copy to the client's server machine and from there to other computers.  All works great, except in server machine, where we are not getting the new icon.   We see only the old icon.   We tried deleting all the exe, pbd files and tried copying the files.  No success.  We get only the old icon in server machine alone.   In all other computers, we got the newer icon.  

What should we do to get the newer icon in the server machine?  

Happiness Always
BKR Sivaprakash

This is most likely a cache issue, the machine is most likely keeping a cached version of the application's appearance. The following page mentions different procedures to rebuild the machine's icon cache, please try it out and see if that works: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/rebuild-icon-cache-in-windows-11.2049/

Hi BKR ;

  Note that PB 2022 Rx no longer supports W2012 deployment.

FYI: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022r3/installation_guide_for_pb/System_Requirements.html

HTH
