I'm in the same boat.  What's entertaining is that using an 'ics#' in
the NMRec works fine with System 6, but doesn't work at all with
System 7.0.  Actually, the icon has half-worked on two occasions so
far with 7.0, both after I was debugging around the NMInstall call.
I say "half-worked" because my icon was flashing above the Apple menu, 
instead of the application menu!

I've just verified that PrintMonitor 7.0 uses its 'SICN' 1024 resource
in the NMRec, even on a color screen.  And it does flash the icon
in the right place.  Looks like the "icon family" is stillborn in
System 7.0 as far as NMInstall is concerned.

...5 minutes later...

Yep, the old 'SICN' works just fine with NMInstall and System 7.0 in
my app.  So much for that "7.0 studly" feature.  :-) :-)
