Hello all,

I want to embed a small logo file into my compiled exe. As I don't want random BMP files hanging around (they may launch this from anywhere) I don't want it unpacking the logo file when the exe is run (fileinstall), I'd just like to embed the file into the executable itself.

Is there any way to do this? Thank you!

you mean the icon???

I mean a BMP file, not an ICO file. I use icons already, but I want to add a logo.

I found this: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtop ... embed+logo

However, that's way more than I'm probably willing to go for on this. Is there a simpler way?

wow, i dodnt know that could be done..maybe ill use that ^^

Have you seen the command FileInstall ?
-- Includes the specified file inside the compiled version of the script.

lol, he doesnt want that, nothing for creating a file, just using data to create a bitmap

Guess I need new glasses. Thanks for the heads-up Guest.

I'd have offered the same advice as Leef_me. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't FileInstall exactly what the OP asked?

You can add the image as BITMAP resource into your EXE with ResHacker. The following post has examples to refer EXE resources.

Or you can use Compile_AHK II and insert your logo as icon or as resource into your compiled script.

You & me, is wrong.

Oh, then I was right, but wrong about FileInstall
Anyways, the Compile_AHK advice is probably the best.
