Icon for compiled script disappears!

[aa2zz6]

Why does the custom compiled ico icon disappear when the application is moved to another PC? I would like to disperse my application with our logo to multiple PC's at work.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=ICO NEO_LOGO.ico

weird. i ship little compiled helpers with my installers and the ICO always shows up, even under testing on all different os vms

nope. just tested it on a clean vm with just exe. you need use the Compile in the Tools menu, go select the icon you need and it embeds it. if you compile from explorer context menu or otherwise, it probably won't embed the resource. go test it.

I've always had no issues with my icons. 
They reside in any folder and I have been able to port my programs onto any machine with any OS.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=..\..\Windows\Installer\{6E3610B2-430D-4EB0-81E3-2B57E8B9DE8D}\Bonjour.ico

Your code looks wrong though: #AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=ICO NEO_LOGO.ico

Why not use the compiler to do this.
Tools > Compile

Isn't it possible that the space messes things up?

Maybe this

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon="ICO NEO_LOGO.ico"

Ok, lets see what I have read here:

• The OP says the ICO is correct on his/her own pc by doesn't work on another PC... Right?
• In case of doubt just check by opening the compiled script with reshacker to check the attached ICO file.
• In case the wrong ICO file is specified, not existing, a warning should be shown during compilation, so double check that too.

Thanks for the replies. When I restarted the tablets for the field operators the ICO icon appeared. 

[Jos]

So you had the same program on there before with another ICO and needed to refresh the cache...right?

Jos

[aa2zz6]

Yes, that's correct, we had another ICO. I guess when in doubt shutdown and startup the tablets. Lol

 

Application compiled with a new ICO (Personal PC)

 

Application copied to the tablets. (Required us to reboot the windows 10 tablets to register the new icon)

this in  a batch file fixes that problem. no reboot necessary on a pc anyway. just need to rebuild the icon cache

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
del IconCache.db /a
start explorer.exe

this happens on almost every ms os, you install updates, icons don't show until reboot, or you do the above in a bat or on an admin cmdline

i see the cache problem all the time in testing
