Hi! Has anyone ever written a Blitz program (B+, B3D) that inserts a given icon into a Blitz executable? P.S.: No, I no longer want to use Resource Hacker for this!

The utility UpdateResource (http://www.miharemec.com/tools.html) can be used to add icons via the command line. It can also do other nifty things, like add version info. I haven't used it, but it's the follow up to something called "ReplaceIcon" that I use. At least it's command line so you can just write a .bat file to do the work for you.

Ty... Ty :) Will test it out. Hopefully BlitzMax PC is going to have an exe icon. Can't understand what's so difficult in adding at least one default icon...

Well, it seems as this program only exchanges Icons in INNO SETUP files... :( Any other ideas or freeware programs?

I'll upload ReplaceIcon later with an example of how to use it :)

ReplaceIcon There's a short example in there too. ReplaceIcon only works on NT machines (Win2K and XP included). Icon shows on all win operating systems though.
