I seem to be confused about icons...

In Inno Setup 6.2.2, If I specify a  SetupIconFile, both the generated installer (setup.exe) and uninstaller (unins000.exe) are branded with that icon. If I don't specify a SetupIconFile, both get a default icon.

Is it possible to specify a custom icon in the .iss file for setup.exe and continue to use the default one (or specify a different one) for unins000.exe? I can't replace the setup.exe icon after-the-fact because I'm signing the executable in Inno Setup.

Do you really need separate icons? By windows recommendation, you're not supposed to display the uninstaller in the start menu etc.

 I'd prefer it. The application needs to support Windows versions back to XP SP3 which had a different style guide (and a glacially slow Add/Remove Programs applet). I discovered (since I made my original post) that the newest Inno Setup version that supports XP is 5.6.1, but I have the same icon issue there.
