Is there a command line tool that can add an icon to an existing executable file? It should be able to set the icon as the file’s ‘main’ icon that is shown in Explorer.
I don’t have Visual Studio and cannot recompile the exe with custom resources containing the icon.
UPDATE: The best tool I have found since posting this question is by far the RCEDIT.exe utility that is included with WinRun4J.
Resource Hacker is a free tool that allows you to modify resources in executables, and it can be scripted from the command line.
