inject icon into exe

[Allen Anderson]

anyone know of some open source code floating around that does this?
I can do it with reshacker manually with the GUI but the cmd line
version of reshacker doesn't seem to work very well (at least not for
icon injection). I'm trying to do this because when installshield
creates the setup.exe for my component I don't see any option to set
the exe icon. So I'm trying to add this to the automated build
process after the fact.

Have you tried going to Project > (project_name) Properties... > General and
pointing the Application Icon to your icon?

Thanks,

while I appreciate your reply, you really should read the question
instead of skimming it and writing an answer. My question is
basically that I'm looking for c# source to do this. The exe is
created by INSTALLSHIELD and not me. Of course I know how to add an
icon to a regular c# app.

After re-reading your question, I see what you mean... you're trying to add
an icon to the setup.exe file as opposed to the application .exe file.
Sorry about that, I mis-read your question completely. To specifically
answer your question, no I haven't seen "C# source" that can do this. I
won't even insult your intelligence by asking if you've posted your
InstallShield question to the InstallShield newsgroups.

Good luck,

Hi Allen,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to change the icon of an
setup.exe file which was created by InstallShield. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Currently I could not find any C# open source tools to change the icon for
an exe. I'm not quite familiar with InstallShield, but could we set the
icon in the InstallShield project? Besides posting here, I think you can
also ask for help in the InstallShield support website.

thanks to you both for answering. I ended up just having to write it
myself.
