[Solution] Some applications will place the icon references, or .ico files, in the c:\windows\installer folder. The snapshot process does not capture this folder as it contains many large files that are not required for the virtual application to run. If, when running your application, you attempt to open a file and you do not see the correct file type icon, you can manually add the needed reference files to the build in Spoon Virtual Application Studio. Go to Filesystem, select the Windows folder in the System Drive tree and click the New Folder button, name the folder Installer. Next, select the Installer folder and click Add Files. In the window that pops up, navigate to the icon (*.ico) files in the c:\windows\installer folder and click Open. This will add the needed icon resource files without adding additional large files to the application configuration. [Question/Issue] 
Why are the icons missing when I browse to open a file in the virtual application?
