Attaching ICON to EXE in install Program

[BoxPro1]

We are trying to attach an icon to the .EXE when we are creating the EXE in the Project in VFP 7.0. When we create the install with InstaFox the program runs, but no icon.

Thank you in advance for you help

Did you create you Icon with both a 16x16x16 and 32x32x16 image? (i.e. at least those two.) Do you also have a line in the main program to attach this same icon to the main screen? (e.g._Screen.Icon = "MyApps.ICO&quot

Note: The version of Imagedit that came with VS 6.0 is from 8/96, so it's not real new. You're really better off with one of the many Freeware and Shareware products available out there. I use an "old" version of MicroAngelo from
