Phillippe
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm using the --icon option and the executable produced has the icon
specified. However, when pp unpacks the app and puts it in my Documents and
Settings\Local Settings\{UserName}-par area the startup executable has the
Camel icon.
Did you manage to get pp to use the --icon on the executable? I'm truing to
set this icon plus the file information so that the Windows firewall reports
my application details and icon...
Regards
Martin

Hi!
I'm not sure I can be of that much help, appart from reporting what I
managed to do: I created icons with VS and IrfanView (I mean I tried with
both and was successful with both) and specified them with "--icon
[...].ico" and it worked!
If you are in doubt about whether your icons are valid or not I would
suggest you to give it a go with a Windows one...
Good luck!
