Hi,

I installed Postman and noticed the Postman icon wasn't set in my Start menu or Taskbar in Win 10.

SquirrelSetup logs attached FWIW.

I submitted this through support first and they told me to post it here.

Thanks.

I have the same issue - no icon on windows 10.

@dangerusslee @antr we fixed this in our latest app (6.1.4) kindly update it. Also, follow #3107 if you still faces it.

@SamvelRaja Mine actually broke after updating to 6.1.4 and I don't have a GitHub Inc. folder just a Postman folder.

I have the same problem stated above, after updating to 6.1.4 the postman icon is missing. I do not have a GitHub folder, just a Postman folder. I am using Windows 10 (latest patch).
The following is from my SquirrelSetup.log file. (FYI... i do not have a C:\Users\Administrator directory);

When i click on to the 'Change Icon...' button for the windows Postman shortcut i get an error message saying: "Windows can't find the file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Postman\app-6.0.10\Postman.exe" . I do not have version 6.0.10, just version 6.1.4, and I cannot seem to find out where this location is stored. I did a search in my registry and there is no mention of 6.0.10 anywhere.
Also, I did a search on my hard drive and do not have the file 'postman-prod.ico'

On my win10 I updated the properties of the postman link: removed start in folder and pointed get-icon-from to c:\Users[name]\AppData\Local\Postman\Update.exe

Awesome, that worked. Thank you.

I had the same problem with version 6.7.2 windows 10 and managed to get around it
Right click the *setup.exe
Click on Compatibility
Tick the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
and choose Windows 8
press okay.
double click the *setup.exe

@antpr @bbrosius @aajjss3
The original issue where the error InstallHelperImpl: Couldn't write uninstall icon can be seen should be fixed.
For the other issues where the icon is broken, we are currently tracking 2 issues:

• Windows App Install Creates Shortcut Under 'GitHub, Inc' Programs Group #2816
• App Icon not available #6897

Please let us know if you are still facing the same issue (with the same error as mentioned above).
