Asking Specifications for Icons to be complied with the script

[TheSeeker]

I am totally new to AutoIT. It is a great tool indeed. I tried to compile some scripts with custom icons. some worked out, some failed. Can anyone tell me the cause and what specifications are necessary?

How are you adding the icons to your script?

Are you using the #AutoIt3Wrapper, FileInstall, etc...

How are you trying to use/access the icons from your compiled script?

Please provide some more details; posting you script probably wouldn't hurt either.

Another reason of problems can be that your icons may be in fact just renamed bitmaps.

Some users had this problem already.

So check binary format of your icons not only its extension.

Thanks for your replies

I didn't included icon files in the script itself, I tried to complie the script using Aut2exe.exe. There is an option for putting the path of the icon, and that is how i tried it.

Some failed and some worked out, as i told previously. The script is very simple and i did not tried to include any icon in the script. It looks like this

#NoTrayIcon

Global $var

$var = InputBox ( "Choice" , "Please input the name of the folder below")

While 1=1

WinWaitActive( $var)

WinKill($var)

MsgBox ( 16, "Warning!", "This is a forbidden folder !!" )

WEnd

Can you tell me how to check binary format of the icon or any file please?
