Wix *.msi installer Icon and logos
Solution 1
You should add this. The whole top banner image should be added.
<WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="..\images\banner.bmp" />
Make sure its in the correct size and it must be a bitmap image.

Solution 2
You are showing an image of the Top Banner if you want to change that, you need to create a 493 × 58 bitmap, that will serve as the background layer for the dialogues titles and texts.
So add this line in the Product element:
<WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="$(var.ImagesDir)\[YOUR BITMAP HERE].bmp" />
You'll find the other WixVariables you need to change the default WIX UI here

According to this http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/user-interface/ui-wizardry
I have created the following code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <Product Id="*" Name="Installer" Language="1033" Version="0.0.1.4" Manufacturer="my" UpgradeCode="*"> <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." /> <MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" /> <!--icon for Add/Remove Programs--> <Icon Id="WINDOWS.ico" SourceFile="..\WINDOWS.ico" /> <Property Id="ARPPRODUCTICON" Value="WINDOWS.ico" /> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="Installer" Level="1" Description="The complete installation" Display="expand" ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLFOLDER"> <ComponentRef Id="ProgramMenuDir" /> <ComponentGroupRef Id="ExportReleaseComponentGroup" /> </Feature> <!--Internal tools--> <Feature Id="Internal_Calibration_tools" Title="Internal Calibration tools" Level="1000" Description="Internal tools"> <ComponentGroupRef Id="group_Internal_Calibration_tools" /> </Feature> <UIRef Id="WixUI_Mondo"></UIRef> <UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIExclamationIco" Value="..\Import\WINDOWS_32px.ico" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIInfoIco" Value="..\Import\WINDOWS_32px.ico" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUINewIco" Value="..\Import\WINDOWS_16px.ico" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIUpIco" Value="..\Import\WINDOWS_16px.ico" /> </Product> <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder">
However I still can't see the icons changing.
in bootstrap everything works fine and all of the icons were changed.
