Change .exe icon

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Change .exe icon

Slomas(Posted 2010) [#1]
-OK same project as before- I just need to change the icon on the final .exe to a custom icon which I have as a .ico (I don't want to change all system .exe icons)

I'm trying to search/download a tool for this and getting nowhere- I used '533soft-icon changer' once before but it has expired

Thanks V.much for any help

Resource Hacker can do it. If I believe correctly, you just open the .exe in Resource Hacker, Add New Resource, select ICON, and load up the .ico, and Saves As a new .exe.

I could be wrong about the process (it has been a while) but a little searching the forums and Google will lead you to an easy step by step.

Definitely go Resource Hacker.

Yep, that works just as you said, saved me a lot of hassle- looks like a nice tool for other things as well-

much appreciated again Sauer!
