.exe file icons

[Flim]

Does anyone know how to change the icon of the .exe file of an AGS game?

Also, could someone recommend an icon-editing program, and one that allows you to add a professional installation program to a game?

Thanks.

Add an icon named user.ico to the file then save your game

I use microsoft visual c++ studio to make icons

For the Setup program icon, put setup.ico in your game (not compiled) directory.

To create icons, try SnIco Edit.

A completely free setup program is Inno Setup, Clickteam Install Creator displays an ad.

I can't speak for the AGS community obviously... and I am a newbie here myself, but just an opinion I want to throw out here.

Don't use an installer unless there is some compelling reason you need to, most if not all AGS games can just be stuck in a zip.  Perhaps an installer is appropriate if you've made a professional quality game for distribution to the masses, in which case I would expect you respect some installer ettiquette.  (Then again, many mainstream applications are egotistical and don't... [rant suppressed])

If you insist on using an installer, don't put crap on my start menu / desktop / quick launch / etc without asking me.  please.  

Just my opinion  -thanks

Well said, Bryan.
These are games most people will play once or twice then delete. They don't need quick launch icons.

Agreed. At least give us a choice between a zip and an installer.
