The reason I get this message is usually because I have not selected the icon file on the Shortcuts/Folders dialogue:

InstallShield - Shortcuts/Folders

I faced something similar. You need to check that the exe from which the icon will be extracted is present on the path specified in Shortcut/Folder of Install Shield

Sure. InstallShield is trying to extract the embedded resource (icon) for Add/Remove Programs and/or a shortcut. Recompile your EXE to include an icon and the message will go away.
