Cannot bundle Windows EXE icon (SOLVED)

[dapetcu21]

Trying to bundle for windows with bob, I get this (and no changed EXE icon):

Error - 5 icon(s) not replaced in /Users/da_petcu21/Work/icon-test/meow/icon-test/icontest.exe using /Users/da_petcu21/Work/icon-test/AppIcon.ico

Here’s the icons I used:

Archive.zip (198.6 KB)

I tried using the sizes listed here, but it made no difference:

Windows build icon problem (DEF-1790) (SOLVED)

You can see this problem in the Defold editor too [image] [image] I’m not sure what’s wrong, but I know I dealt with this kind of problem before in the past. Here is my tools for building icon.res files if that helps. I use https://iconverticons.com/online/ to make good ico files from pngs icon.zip (545 Bytes) Maybe custom icon is simply being ignored? The main exe doesn’t show custom icon either after being bundled. [image]

Try saving an .ico with this software with this version (it’s free) and setting disabled. The no compress Win Vista is the important part.

These sizes

It seems to have worked now with that option unchecked. Thanks a lot!

Doesn’t this service provide a working .ico file?

I haven’t tried with that service. I generated my ico with https://www.icoconverter.com, then added the 8-bit versions with IcoFX. It worked after unchecking “Compress images for Windows Vista”.

For those folks, who is working on Linux, here is instruction how to convert .png to .ico:

1. You can use Imagemagick (sudo apt install imagemagick)
   1.1 And specifically convert tool
2. Use this command. Take notice of -compress None and list of sizes

convert icon_256x256px.png -compress None -define icon:auto-resize=256,128,96,64,48,32,24,16 favicon.ico
