Include .ico files in exe

[beserk1]

Is it possible to include the .ico files used in the script into the exe file when comile?

Right now I have 2 .ico files that I use in a script, and I want to combine all 3 files after I compile it, so I just have to use the script and it will have the icon included.

Anyone know if thats possible?

[Swift]

FileInstall("icon location", @TempDir & "\icon1.ico")

Then use: GUICtrlCreateIcon(@TempDir & "\icon1.ico")

If that helps

people always say use fileinstall.

but we all know thats not what the person is asking about.

they want a standalone .exe with the images inside.

this question has been asked so many times.

i think maybe you can do this with zednas resource thing-ama-jig-aling.

FileInstall does work, its the easiest thing, to just run the .exe silently, and have it install the files, then use the files from that location, its easier than actually creating a .exe that only holds icons.

yeah fileinstall is probably the easiest way.

and when you run it, you check if the icon still exists, and if not fileinstall it again.

i have been working on a method of my own to add resources to an .exe

it is still a little buggy however.

see attached

Edit:

nothing special i just have included some resources and loaded them into the gui.

Scite4AutoIt3 allows you to modify and add resources to the compiled script. Yes, that includes icons.
