Scrambled icons for Windows .EXE and .MSI files in Finder.

For some reason the icons in Snow Leopard for .exe files and .msi files show up as a scrambled image. I wish there was a way to upload a screenshot. Is anyone else seeing this problem. I do have VMware Fusion installed. Not sure if that is causing the issue.

Just to be clear, the icon are scrambled in the Finder, not in any of the VMware sessions.

I'm getting the same thing. When I look at the get info information they are associated with Windows explorer in Bootcamp, so I just changed them over to be associated with VMWare Fusion, which gives me nice plain icons.

I wish there were some way to say all exe files get a certain custom icon. Then I would use the Fusion icon.

This did the job - setting the association to VMWare fusion. But yes, it would be nice to get the VMWare icons.
