Basic MSI - UAC Icon for Uninstallation Through ?Programs and Features?

Title

Summary

The UAC icon cannot be changed for a Basic MSI project. The interaction between msiexec.exe and the UAC cause the generic icon.

Synopsis

When uninstalling a Basic MSI installation from ?Programs and Features? you will notice that the icon on the UAC dialog is a generic icon.

Discussion

This is caused by the UAC being displayed by the application that is triggering the UAC prompt. In this case Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) is what is making the request to the UAC. As a result of this the generic icon is coming from the interaction of msiexec.exe and the UAC.

Workaround

Since this is an interaction between msiexec.exe and the UAC there are not going to be any ways to alter this through your Basic MSI project.
