It seems that RC.EXE (Microsoft's resource compiler) is not able to compile vista icons (icons containing a PNG-compressed 256x256 image). I'm not even asking about Borland's resource compiler, haven't tried it, but it's so old it can't possible know about Vista icons.
I did manage to build icons using a tool called "Resorce Builder" (from SiComponents) with mixed success. It doesn't always manage to properly compile my Vista icon. Also I'm not 100% the vista icon itself is absolutely ok as there's no Microsoft SDK tool to build / test such an icon. I did copy the icon over to a Vista machine and it looks really good (and really really large) so I think the icon is good. Also the icon has been generated using Icon Workshop and this seems to be the tool Microsoft uses. Any ideas? Should I simply drop the "vista icon" idea for a while, till everyone re-tools? After all, the 256x256 PNG icon is only required on a Vista machine if the owner puts the desktop into "Large Icons" mode...
