After installing 3.5 on Windows XP Professional SP2, some Office XP icons on the desktop and in the Start Programs menu did not change from the MS defaults to the Flyakite 3.5 versions. Upon investigation, the default icons appear to originate from WINDOWSInstaller subfolders, specifically:
{2DFE1608-BDCA-11D1-B7AE-00C04FB92F3D} - for pj9icon.exe and project.ico
{90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9} - for accicons.exe, graph.ico, PEicons.exe and unbndico.exe
{90190409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9} - for cagicon.exe, misc.exe, mspicons.exe, opwicon.exe, PEicons.exe and pubs.exe
{90300409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9} - for misc.exe
{90500409-6D54-11D4-BEE3-00C04F990354} - for VisioIcon.exe
{90520409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9} - for misc.exe and visicon.exe
In these folders, some of the icons were properly replaced, but others were not. For instance, in subfolder WINDOWSInstaller{90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9} the cagicon.exe, misc.exe, mspicons.exe, outicon.exe, pptico.exe, wordicon.exe and xlicons.exe were updated by the 3.5 installer, but accicons.exe, graph.ico, PEicons.exe and unbndico.exe were not updated.
Of particular concern are the Desktop icons and Start Program icons for:
Microsoft Access 2002 (10.6771.6735) SP3
Microsoft Publisher 2002 (10.6308.6735) SP3
Microsoft Visio Professional 2002 (10.0.5110) SP2
Microsoft Project 2000 (9.0.2001.0219) SR-1
When installing 3.5, I specifically selected MS Office, among other options. In attempting to correct this, I have run both System Files Updater and Forced System File Update, rebooting and rebuilding the icon cache each time, to no avail.
What remedy do you suggest to update these icons?
