modifying Config.esriaddinx - change add-in's icon

Hi,
I've created an add-in using VB 2008 Express with ESRI ArcGIS wizard. Now I want to change the add-in's image / icon.

  
<ESRI.Configuration xmlns="http://schemas.esri.com/Desktop/AddIns" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
...
<Image>Images\logo.png</Image>
...
</ESRI.Configuration>

I have an image logo.png stored in both Resources and Images folder in my VB.NET project. However, this image is somehow not visible for the add-in. I've checked the add-in package (.esriAddIn zip file) after compiling the project and there is no image "logo.png" in the Images folder inside this package.

The question is: how can I include this image to my add in package?

I had similar problems with icons for specific buttons in this add-in, however this was fixed when I used ArcGIS wizard for adding new items to my VB.NET project.

Help would be appreciated,
Regards,
Jan

You need to inform the build process to include the image file in the Add-In package.

In Visual Studio's solution explorer, select your logo.png file under images. Set the Build Action property to AddInContent.
