Did you delete the launcher.png entry in kobo's library, on the kobo device, first? The factory reset would do that as well but shouldn't be needed. When you connect to your PC you should be able to see if the launcher.png is still there or not.

Getting the launcher.png recognized and processed by Kobo is all done by Kobo software and really has nothing to do with Sergey's software. The launcher.png must have been processed by Kobo and properly display as a full page image when selected, before you actually install any of the pchess 1.2.6 build software.

The launcher.png needs to be in the same directory that has the .adobe-digital-editions, .kobo and .kobo-images hidden folders. If your PC is not running under a windows OS, you may need to have it set to display hidden folders.

Once the launcher.png is in the proper location you need to safely eject the Koboreader drive from your PC and disconnect the USB cable. At that point you should see, on your Kobo device, the message that it is processing the media. If you don't see that message from the Kobo software, or just to be on the safe side, restart your device. When it starts back up, you should see the processing message, if the launcher.png file had not been fully processed by the Kobo software.

The Launcher Icon should now be on your Kobo Home page, just like a newly added ebook would. You should select it and see that it brings up a full page image. If it does then you have gotten it processed and recognized by the Kobo software and you can reconnect to your PC and continue with the installation of the pchess 1.2.6 build software.

If you can't get your Kobo software to properly recognize the launcher image file or you don't have the file in the proper folder, Sergey's software can't work properly.

Luck;
