How can I read the icons from a DLL or an EXE file, using C++ (and Qt) ?
I can’t find anything relevant on google, I only get how to change application icon using qt, which is not what I need.

If I understand what you’re trying to do, this should be possible through the general
LoadResourcefunction or the specificLoadIconfunction. An example of the former can be found here.You would create a handle to the exe or DLL using
LoadLibrary, which you subsequently use as an argument in theLoadResourceorLoadIconfunction.I don’t know of any Qt functions providing similar options, but perhaps others do.
