adding an application shortcut to a form, and using icon of app as button

[koosh34]

hi,
I'm trying to write an application launcher that can add a button and a
label automatically from the folder of any application, by finding the .exe
file and assigning that to the label, and taking the icon and assigning it
to the button as an image.
how can i get the icon information from the .exe?

If you are using a non express version.

Just set the property to that in the installation pane.
