in thread How to change the windows icon of a script compiled with PP ?

As an ALTERNATIVE to the above, you CAN use a multilayer icon with the following layer geometery:

32x32

24x24

16x16

You still have to use 8 bpp, 1-bit alpha, 256-slot Palette, no PNG compression, and it has to be set on all layers.

I have since started to go this route, as Windows 2008 server doesn't respect the single 48x48 icon. I can't speak as to why you can't use a 48x48 in the stack, but a multilayer icon with a 48x48 layer doesn't display on Win7 if you do so. This appears to work as expected on both Win7 and 2008 server.
