Hello,
Is there a way to extract program icons from Windows executables? Wine
obviously has the functionality somewhere: wineshelllink uses it to
add menu entries with icons.
But often setup routines fail to interact with wine/wineshelllink so
that a program is installed but no menu entry created.
So is there a way to access the "extract icons" functionality
manually? I thought that passing something like
--icon "C:\\path\\to\\fobar.exe,1"
to wineshelllink might be the solution, but it obviously is not.
Thanks for any hints!
Johannes

Windows program Irfanview can extract icons. It works with wine and is free.

IconJack from pcmag.com works pretty good for me. It's also free.
