Product Branding Prerequisites

In case of an upgrade to a version with updated product branding, the following steps are required tob clean the Windows caches:

  • Icon cache
    • Disk Cleanup (thumbnails)
  • Thumbnail cache
    • Delete all thumbnailcache_*.db in %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
  • MUI cache
    • Delete all entries containing “Fred” from
      • HKCR\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache
      • HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache
      • HKCR\Local Settings\MuiCache (possible subtree of keys)
      • HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\MuiCache (possible subtree of keys)

Upon reboot, the cache will be populated with the new product branding. This might include new logos, new product name, etc.
