well, in my program it will download a .ico file from a source then save it to the temp path. next i used sage's iconinjector class which i did:
Iconinjector.inject(application.executablepath, environ("temp") & "/1.ico"

but every time i tried it wont inject itself but will inject other executable's.

is there any solution?

You cannot edit any file which is running.
Just make a copy of the executable, and change its icon.

well... the real code is:
if my.computer.info.osfullname.contains("Windows XP") = true then
iconinjector.inject(application.executablepath, environ("temp") & "\1.ico")
else
iconinjector.inject(application.executablepath, environ("temp") & "\2.ico")
end if


well, sorry im a bit dumb but if you copy the file and inject it i want it renamed the same as the file and in the same directory also don't want 2 processes... what to do? :rip:

So you want to save the icon or change some exe's icon? Oo

[1234hotmaster]

in the end i want the file to run the code normally but have its icon changed depending on the OS

You can only change the small icon in the Form at runtime, otherwise copy the program, change icon and start it instead of original app.

Code:

IO.File.Copy(Application.ExecutablePath, CurDir() & "\" & ProductName & "2.exe") Dim iconPath As String = String.Empty if my.computer.info.osfullname.contains("Windows XP") = true then iconPath = environ("temp") & "\1.ico" else iconPath = environ("temp") & "\2.ico" end if iconinjector.inject(CurDir() & "\" & ProductName & "2.exe", iconPath) Process.Start(CurDir() & "\" & ProductName & "2.exe") Me.Close()

This is pretty much noticeable though.
