Vanav:
There was an old issue about missing icons, but now seems issue is back (maybe it was fixed only for Windows 7 that time?). I'll describe it again in short here, see old thread for more information.

Some links for 64-bit applications doesn't show icon on Windows 8. This issue only affects 64-bit applications on Windows 8. It doesn't appears on Windows 7 nor for 32-bit applications. Not all links are affected, but some of them. Options "Shortcut Lnk Resolution" changes nothing here. Only applications in "C:\Program Files" are affected, not in "C:\Program Files (x86)".

Known affected 64-bit applications:
- Opera Browser
- 3DMark
- TortoiseSVN, TortoiseMerge, TortoiseIDiff
- Everything
- 3DMark
- SecureFX, SecureCRT
- 7-Zip (old version, can't reproduce with new version)
- dupeGuru
- COMODO Internet Security (icon is correct, path is not correct)
- Far Manager 3 x64
- Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
- Microsoft Mathematics
- Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool,
- Oracle VM VirtualBox,
- FastCopy

Lets look inside "bad" lnk file:
lnk_parser_cmd.exe "C:\ProgramData\Start Menu\Programs\TortoiseSVN\TortoiseMerge.lnk"

Target is "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseMerge.exe". The issue is in this lines:

--- Code: Text ---...[Known Folder Location]Known folder GUID: 905e63b6-c1bf-494e-b29c-65b732d3d21a = ProgramFilesFirst child segment offset: 185 bytes...[Special Folder Location]Special folder identifier: 38 (ProgramFiles)First child segment offset: 185 bytes...
This means that link refers to a file in FOLDERID_ProgramFiles folder, this constant is {905e63b6-c1bf-494e-b29c-65b732d3d21a} or CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES = 0x0026 (decimal: 38).

But this constant has a different meaning in 32-bit and 64-bit applications. If you resolve link from 64-bit application it will lead to "%SystemDrive%\Program Files", but if you resolve it from 32-bit application it will lead to "%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)".

That's why FARR (32-bit) searches icon in "C:\Program Files (x86)\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseMerge.exe" - not existent path. So, technically this is an issue with incorrect links, but it is very common, and it will be perfect if we can make a workaround.

Thank you!

phitsc:
Thanks for reporting this Vanav (and in such great detail). Have the same problem but was too lazy to report it.

Vanav:
mouser, please, check again this bug.

In short: FARR2 incorrectly thinks that some link destinations are in "C:\Program Files (x86)", and can't find icons. The correct path is "C:\Program Files". Can be reproduced on Windows 10 x64 and Windows 8 x64.

You have already fixed this bug in 2012, but since then there was a regression.

KuttKatrea:
Maybe if we were provided with an x64 build, it would work just fine (as the native Windows menu)

mouser:
Anyone else seeing this problem (or not)?
