Icon pinned in taskbar on win7

#1 Post by Keul »

The new SDK break the windows 7 pin ability

Step to reproduce with the last DSK(6.16.5), launch a VN and pin the program in the taskbar:
  • Icon is not the game icon anymore
  • It's impossible to launch the game with the pinned task
  • If you pin the game exe with a drag'n drop, the pinned program will be shown as non-executed and a new program will appear.
Problem:
<game>.exe is not the program anymore but a launcher who will execute lib\windows-i686\<game>.exe

This has been an issue since 6.15. Basically, windows ignores arguments to the running program when it figures out how to pin things.

I don't know a good way to fix this at the moment.

Can't you just do like before without launching a second executable? (because there's not only the problem of the argument but also the fact that the .exe shown to user is not finally the real one and if you use drag'n drop on the main .exe, win7 will screw up)
