This issue has been solved. See solution.

I have created a version of our installer intended to be used on x64 windows installations. I am testing on Vista Ult x64 now. 

The display icon get installed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{E713FEDC-4C78-4BDE-8E91-77D9B7C23C50}

therefore the icon is missing from the Remove Programs list. How can this be fixed so i can see the icon?

Missing icon or bitmap

Are you saying that there is NO shortcut for the application in Add/Remove programs, or that the shortcut does not have the correct bitmap?

Are you installing per-machine or per-user?  if you do a per-user install, it will only appear in add/remove programs for the user account that performed the installation. If this was a service account then unless you log in as the service account, you will not see the shortcut.

 Hi,

Yes, it shows up in the list of installed programs, and yes, the icon is not what it should be.

This is a per-machine installation

Did you set the icon in the

Did you set the icon in the ARPPRODUCTICON property?
Have you searched for the Product Icon registry entry for your application? This will be in the windows installer section of the registry - search on the product name string.
