I have a compiled executable that I would like to add an icon to. It currently has 0 resources and uses the default Windows Application Icon. I have tried "Resource Hacker" and adding an icon, but it only seems to corrupt the exe. I also tried using a program called IcoFX to add an icon, but even that just states it is unable to add the resources. The exe is not packed with UPX or anything.

Is there any way to accomplish this? I need the icon to transfer over between machines, so just changing an icon on a shortcut does not solve my problem.

Microsoft Visual Studio might be the most appropriate tool. Are you editing a 64-bit image perhaps? – Syclone0044 Jan 6 at 5:19
