I've used install4j's GUI to set Installer -> Uninstaller -> Executable icon to a custom icon, but that icon is not used in Windows 8.1's "Programs & Features" screen. How can I make a custom icon appear here?
The "Register Add/Remove item" action has an "Icon" property for that purpose. That action is added by default on the "Installer->Screens & Actions" step, to the "Installation" screen of the installer.

I am trying to change the title/subtitle of default "Installation location" screen as provided by install4j. But i cannot find the section in title/subtitle configuration part. The title/subtitle part is available for other screens and can be changed there.
Is there any other way or API using which i can change the Title/Subtite?
Titles and subtitles of standard screens are not directly configurable, but you can override the messages.
On the General Settings->Languages step, set up a custom localization file, then open the built-in editor and click on the "Override messages" tool bar button. Search for the message you want to change and click on OK. Then you can change the text in the editor.
I'm using install4j 7.0.1 - and I have used 'Installation components' screen.
This screen has title: 'Select Component' and subtitle: 'Which component should be installed?'. Is there any way how to cutomize these texts?
Thanks

I'm building a OSX app and I noticed it has no "application menu" (the top left file/edit/view menu), I can't seem to find much about this other than it should be added automatically. How can I add it manually and add or remove items?
I can click it but no menu opens.
I am currently evaluating Install4J. I have a requirement to use custom images for the installer screens and icons etc.
Where should I place them?
How to refer them from Install4J IDE?
First, go to the "Installer->Screens & actions" section in the install4j IDE.
Select the installer, and edit the "Custom image for title bar" property to configure the header image for all screens.
For each screen that has an image on the left side, select that screen and edit the "Image for banner" property.
I have an "Additional confirmations" screen, with 2 "checkbox" form components:
Add a desktop link (linked to the boolean "createDesktopLinkAction")
Add a quick launch icon (linked to the boolean "createQuicklaunchIconAction").
At the end of the installation, I have 2 actions:
Create desktop icon (linked to the boolean "createQuicklaunchIconAction")
Create quick launch icon (linked to the boolean "createQuicklaunchIconAction").
They are both attached to the launcher.
The desktop icon is created, but the quick launch icon doesn't, and I don't know why.
The "Create a quick launch icon" action only works up to Windows Vista. After that, there is no quick launch bar anymore, the task bar is a different entity. We will likely remove this action in install4j 7.
