Autorun Icon Problem

[jasx]

Hi Murariu,

Firstly great program, you've done a fantastic job!
I only have one small problem trying to do what I'm doing - the autorun icon is not working properly for me.
Initially it was working ok selecting your sample icons but not with my own, regardless of the size/depth of the files I tried, also manually editing the exe file caused an error when trying to run the executable.
Now the icons don't seem to be working at all. I've tried a blank project and exported without an icon and it exports fine but then when I try and select any icon, including the samples, it skips straight over the upx dos window - looks like some error in red which I don't have time to capture - and I end up with an executable file that has a default icon (like a bat file) and does not run - Not Valid Win32 Application. I think it may have worked once or twice in the past but now it generally doesn't. Can you help?

Cheers,
Jas.

My guess this should be in the support section..as I don't believe it is a bug.

I have created several .exe with custom icons. Are you making sure the icon file you are selecting is a real icon file (ie *.ico)?

First off all I have to say that if you messed with the original "player.exe" from the main APB directory, then the solution is to reinstall the program (in the future when you are messing with an executable do a backup).
The UPX error in red is probably caused by the fact that you used a nasty PE Editor to change something in the exe, and it did an irreparable damage.
What PE Editor have you used?

You can use any valid icon image (When selecting an icon, if you see a preview of the icon, then is valid).

In conclusion REINSTALL the program.



PS:
DO NOT TRY TO MODIFY the player after you export it (packed or not).
ALSO DO NOT TRY TO PACK IT WITH ANOTHER EXE PACKER AFTER EXPORT.
