Some program icon changed to generic icons.
I have just finished updating my Vista x64 Ultimate to Windows 7 x64 Professional. I am in the process of reinstalling all my software and I have observed something usual.
In Vista when I use Control Panel>Programs and Features, most icons represent the installed programs. In Windows 7 many, but not all, are showing a generic icon for programs that Vista recognized correctly.
Is this a known issue or can I do something to get the program icons back? | My System Specs |

I just installed "Focus Magic 3.0", and got the same generic application icon in Windows 7 as you did.
I don't think that there's anything that you could do about it though.  | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

You can uninstall the Focus Magic 3.0 to see if the will restore default icons. Then try this: Icon Cache - Rebuild
Also checking the file system may help: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Indeed in Explorer I also have several generic icons, never paid attention before. But as Bongo stated, Revo does display them properly. 
EDIT: Revo does not display them all, but a different default installer icon.  | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
