You can create a registry entry in the "Entry Points\GUID" section of the registry called "ImageURL". In the value for this registry entry, put something like: "[TARGETDIR]Images\MyApp.png". Just make sure that your setup project also puts the image on the machine in this location. - Anthony Adam,

One thing I can't seem to get working here (which does work when I use the registerMCEAPP method) is the image for the program. (referenced as ImageUrl in the registration.xml file. Is there a way to do this using the setup project? Cheers! Hi there, and thanks a bunch for the information, it saved me a lot of trouble, and I’m loving developing in this new environment.

I have updated this blog post to contain the detail you are looking for. I also specifically address your question here: <a href="http://www.anpark.com/index.php/2007/04/05/determing-the-strong-name-of-a-media-center-addin/" rel="nofollow">Determining the Strong Name of a Media Center AddIn</a> Thanks, Anthony Jan,

I have, however, one question: How do you actually construct the “AddIn” String which is in your case "AnthonyPark.MediaCenter.MCML.MCMLHelloWorld_Start, MCMLHelloWorld, Version=1.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=163a3237539b1b96"? What exactly are the two first attributes and how can I find them out? Thanks a lot Jan Dear Anthony,
