Compile to .exe without file icon

[dimm 0]

Is it possible to compile script without any icon resources included?

When I make exe it uses default system icon of current OS even if I compile as console application.

On other versions of Windows it looks a little strange

 

Update:

It seems that the only way is remove icons from exe after compilation using resource editors like ResHacker.

 

another bad solution:

Using corrupted 35 bytes icon file. Windows can't load it and shows default system icon.

#pragma compile(Icon, broken.ico)

broken.ico

to simply answer it - no. 

You would be best off using a icon to your liking.

#NoTrayIcon

at the very first line of your script

My question is about file icon, not tray

@dimm as Bert stated, your best bet for uniformity is to use your own icon. You can even use one of the many icon-creation suites out there to embed an icon for each OS you think your app might hit.

It can be solved by using ResHacker with commandline "-open -action delete" (see http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/) called from #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After section

so it will be called automatically AFTER each compilation.

example of RunAfter from AutoIt3Wrapper.au3:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=copy "%in%" "..\..\Programs_Updates\AutoIt3Wrapper"
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=copy "%out%" "..\..\Programs_Updates\AutoIt3Wrapper"
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=copy "%in%" "c:\Program Files (x86)\autoit3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper"
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=aaCopy2Prod.exe "%scriptfile%.EXE" "%out%" "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper" "%in%" %fileversion% %fileversionnew%

already trying this from ResHacker's GUI and gets application launch error after saving changes

are you wanting the EXE to have no icon at all?

Exactly

[Bert 1,360]

are you trying to hide the exe?

Did you ever saw this kind of program or file ?

I just don't want to have useless resources in my console tool, this default icon group takes about 30 Kb

almost every Windows system console app

30Kb isn't all that much space, I can't see how saving that is going to affect anything. Seeing as how the smallest AutoIt exe is around 1Mb in size with nothing in it but a msgbox (for an example), slightly smaller when compiled as x86 instead of x64, saves about 100kb.

Seems like a lot more effort expended for what you'd gain by it.

you can compile it with this :

No.ico

Use reshack to delete the icon 99  resource !
