set-application-icon

Arguments: existing-exe icon-file &key (resource-name "ACLICON")

This function is useful for replacing the application icon inside an executable file for delivery. It simply calls set-exe-icons-nt if the operating system is a member of the NT branch of Windows (which includes win2000 and XP), and otherwise calls set-exe-icons. Refer to those functions for complete information.

The resource-name argument is passed as the icon-name argument to those functions, and existing-exe and icon-file are passed as the similarly named arguments of those functions.

On the non-NT branch, set-application-icon handles the creation of a temporary exe path to pass to set-exe-icons, and the deletion of the no-longer-used copy of the exe file. It leaves a single resulting exe file at the original existing-exe path.

This function is called directly by generate-application when it is passed a non-null icon-file argument, as described in delivery.htm. It is also called by the IDE's File | Build Project Distribution command when the current project has a non-null icon-file property.
