Solution

  • The UninstallDisplayIcon must point to a permanent file on the destination machine. Not to the source drive of the installer. That typically means that you have to install the icon and point the UninstallDisplayIcon to the installed copy:

    [Setup]
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\uninstall.ico

[Files]
Source: uninstall.ico; DestDir: {app}

    Note that the UninstallDisplayIcon is loaded by Windows on the destination machine, not Inno Setup itself. Windows supports other formats, like .exe and .dll, in addition to .ico.
