Re: Res2Exe strips out program icon

Haven't specifically tried these, but here are 2 possible solutions...

1) Recompile your app using Visual Studio 2005 - the new compilers remove
the need for the res2exe tool so your icon will be safe

2) Create 2 executables. The 2nd one has your custom icon and when
launched, does nothing except launch the main executable. Then the
shortcuts you create on the Start menu, etc can point to this 2nd
executable.
