Change Compiled Icon

[michaelslamet]

How to change compiled AutoIT script icon?

I would like to create a small command line utility for that.

I know before compile I could add

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=

 

But what I want change is the embedded icon after the script compiled

Please give me some hints how to do that

As far as I know, resource hacker doesn't support command line, does it?

Here:

Func sChangeIcon($sFile , $sFileFinal , $sIcon)
        Local  $sChangeValue  , $OverWrite
        $sResource = @TempDir & '\ResHack.exe'
        $OverWrite = '-addoverwrite '
        $sChangeValue =  'ICONGROUP,MAINICON,0'
        FileWrite($sResource , BinaryToString( sData()))
        sShell( $sResource, $OverWrite & $sFile &  ','  & _
        ' ' &  $sFileFinal &  ','  & ' '  & $sIcon &  ','  & $sChangeValue )
        Sleep(250)
        FileDelete($sResource)
EndFunc

Func sShell($Path , $Parameter)
        Local $Shell = ObjCreate("shell.application")
        $Shell.ShellExecute($Path ,$Parameter , "")
EndFunc

Thanks 0xdefea7!!

Looks promising, but it throw this error:

ERROR: sData(): undefined function.

on this line:

FileWrite($sResource , BinaryToString( sData()))

Resource Hacker of course, as has been suggested, but personally, if you are going to go to all that trouble, then why not just recompile with a different icon.

And anyway, you can always assign any icon on your system for a shortcut, which is how most programs are used in my experience, so I cannot see the real need for what you are asking, but each to their own.

Icon libraries are another way, either embedded or with a shortcut.

I understand your point of view

For my purpose this time, I really need a command line tool to change the embedded icon.

Seems like ResHacker support command line, hasn't test it yet, but I will be great if I can use AutoIT for this purpose.

Code from 0xdefea7 above seems promising, do you know how to fix it?

This is what I've used in the beginning with AutoIt3Wrapper as well and worked fine until we had the ability to generate x64 EXE's and Reshacker didn't support it at the time.

It does now and should be pretty easy to use.

Sorry, the sData function just takes your file from a binary file read of resource hacker. I thought I changed that... Here:

Func sData()

    $hFile = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\Reshack.exe", 16)
    Return FileRead($hFile)

EndFunc

from this link :

You can use following commands in Command Prompt to perform actions using Resource Hacker:

-

add

ExeFileName, ResultingFileName, ResourceAddress, ResourceType, ResourceName,

-

addskip

ExeFileName, ResultingFileName, ResourceAddress, ResourceType, ResourceName,

-

addoverwrite

ExeFileName, ResultingFileName, ResourceAddress, ResourceType, ResourceName,

-

modify

ExeFileName, ResultingFileName, ResourceAddress, ResourceType, ResourceName,

-

extract

ExeFileName, ResourceAddress, ResourceType, ResourceName,

-

delete

ExeFileName, ResultingFileName, ResourceType, ResourceName,

Where:

• ExeFileName - Source file name
• ResultingFileName - Output file name
• ResourceAddress - Resource location (e.g. Bitmap path stored in your hard disk)
• ResourceType - Resource type (e.g. Bitmap, AVI, etc.)
• ResourceName - Resource name (e.g. 131, 1020, etc.)

Example:

ResHacker.exe -addoverwrite explorer.exe, explorer1.exe, MyImage.bmp , bitmap, 143,

 

hope it can help you.
