Multiple packager Icons for .EXE

[CermakPOI]

Hi,
I would like to embed multiple icons in the final .exe so that i can select one of them as a shortcut icon.
Is this possible?

I'm expecting the answer to use an image list so i clarify again:
I want my icon not inside the GUI/application, NOT as an imagelist, but as an icon i can select for a shortcut.

Can i use the "Build Options" for this?

Thank you for posting, CermakPOI.

Did you remember to include the following?

• 1. Product, version and build (e.g. Product: PowerShell Studio 2014, Version & Build: 4.1.71. Version and build information can be found in the product's About box accessed by clicking the blue icon with the 'i' in the upper right hand corner of the ribbon.)
  2. Specify if you are running a 32 or 64 bit version
  3. Specify your operating system and if it is 32 or 64 bit.
  4. Attach a screenshot if your issue can be seen on the screen
  5. Attach a zip file if you have multiple files (crash reports, log entries, etc.) related to your issue.

If not, please take a moment to edit your original post or reply to this one.

The packager doesn't support embedding multiple icons in its resources.

You could include icons with an installer and then use those to create the shortcuts.

Thanks for the reply.
The Icons of the Shortcut shall change according to a specific state which is set by the script itself. (I recreate the Shortcut)
So i think i must use individual .ico files.

I found a working, automated solution via Resource Hacker:
My source files are for this are
i user portable ResourceHacker and put this as a subfolder of my Project
D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\resource_hacker\ResourceHacker.exe

The Packaged EXE:
D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\MyGUI.exe
The Icons:
D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\ICON2.ico
D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\ICON3.ico


I created a file called MyGUI.ini (Don't forget the trailing commas after the resource name 200, 300)

Code: Select all

[FILENAMES]
Exe=D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\MyGUI.exe
SaveAs=D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\MyGUI-icon.exe
Log=D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\resource_hacker\SWIFlag.log
[COMMANDS]
-add D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\ICON2.ico, IconGroup, 200,
-add D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\ICON3.ico, IconGroup, 300,

And a file MyGUI.cmd (All in one line)

Code: Select all

D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\resource_hacker\ResourceHacker.exe -script D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\resource_hacker\MyGUI.ini

The Result File contains the icons ordered by (default from packager is 107, then 200,300,...)
D:\PSScripts\MyGUI\MyGUI-icon.exe


Finally I use the cmd file as a Post-Build command in Powershell Studio -> i get my Exe file with my 3 icons inside

Glad you found a workaround. Although make sure to test the package executable and verify that runs as expected.
