I created the installer using NSIS. Everything working fine but default icon not setting to the particular files.
WriteRegStr HKCR "Myapp\DefaultIcon" "" "$INSTDIR\Myexe,1"
I need to set default icon by using my Exe not by using icon file

Post more code, it is impossible to diagnose this issue without further information. – Anders Jul 26 '19 at 10:15

You need to provide the full path. If you want the first icon in your .exe then you don't need a icon index:
RequestExecutionLevel Admin
Section
WriteRegStr HKCR ".foo" "" "foofile" ; .foo file extension
WriteRegStr HKCR "foofile\DefaultIcon" "" "$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe"
SectionEnd
Other icons need a icon index:
WriteRegStr HKCR "MyProgId\DefaultIcon" "" "$INSTDIR\MyApp.exe,1"

There might be something else wrong. Is your application started correctly when you double-click your file-type? – Anders Jul 26 '19 at 10:02
