Because the icon creation failed I was trying to do this manually with the Win32::Exe

I think PAR::Packer uses Win32::Exe to handle the icon creation in the first place - so if it failed the first time, it's not surprising that it failed again when you repeated the process.

What version of Windows are you running ? There's a report on the PAR mailing list of a failure (involving icon creation) on Windows 7 that I can't reproduce on Windows Vista.

The script you posted, works fine for me if I specify 'console' instead of 'gui' ... actually, it may well be working fine for 'gui', too, but I haven't verified that.

Cheers,
Rob
