That's actually very little to go on. What platform are you on? Which file did you download? Does "dragging the icon to the desktop" mean creating a shortcut? Moving the executable itself?

The icon you may be clicking on is probably nothing more than that: an
icon. It's for use by Linux developers who want to set up a launcher
that uses that icon and for Windows developers who want to set up a
short-cut (and use that icon).

What you do, as Nitin points out, depends on your platform.
