 Description   

Presumably the installer icon should use the MongoDB leaf, not something that looks a bit like a black Christmas present box.

Windows builds are available on Evergreen, e.g.

Closing as a duplicate of COMPASS-740.

Ok. I defer to you Lucas. I only asked since its marked with the Research and Design component and it popped up in the backlog.

Needs figuring out re: Distributions (should they all use same icons? What differences?).

See comments above on where present icon comes from.

IMO, this is lowest priority in improving windows installation experience and should be closed as won't fix for now.

fred.truman I think this is still an issue, specifically as a former mostly Windows user from Windows 3.1 (pre-Windows 95) to Windows 7, the .msi is understandable (though could be the MongoDB leaf too) but I have no idea where the .exe black Christmas box version comes from:

Can it be the same one we use on OS X?

sam.weaver what icon should it be instead of the default?

Comment by Lucas Hrabovsky (Inactive) [ 18/Jan/17 ]

This has been hanging around for a really long time now with no new activity and I don't think we'll be able to prioritize it anytime soon. Please feel free to re-open. #keepitclean

This is expected behavior. From https://github.com/mongodb-js/hadron-build/blob/master/lib/config.js#L276-L282
