VS Setup Project Question

When you install a windows application, and then view the list of
installed applications from the Control Panel, each installed
application has a small icon next to it's name. I can't seem to
control what that icon is. I have added a custom icon to the project
manifest on the Application tab of the project properties. At that
time, the icon was the same icon that the start menu shortcut
displayed, the default icon. When I then added the same custom icon
that I added to the manifest to the installed application folder and
then set the start menu shortcut's icon to that icon, the control
panel icon is now the standard windows setup icon. But I can't seem to
get my custom icon to show up in the control panel program list
display.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the main form's icon is also set to the
same custom icon.
