Re: [Py2exe-users] Vista exe embeded icon problem.

[James H. <jam...@gm...>]

Werner,

The icon I am using is 32 X 32.  I don't know if this matters for Vista or
if it requires a 48X48 pixel icon.
Regardless, the current code I have for this project is the following:

In my main gui file to set the icon:

        icon = Myimages.getLabJackIcon()
        self.SetIcon(icon)

In the setup.py file:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
sys.argv.append("py2exe")
setup(windows = [{"script": 'Authorizer.py', "icon_resources": [(0, "
LabJackIcon.ico")]}])

As for the wiki, creating an account fixed the problem.  Although I am going
to wait to edit the page until we get a solution fully hashed out.  If there
is one that is.

Jim
