Are you saying X-Launcher must be compiled with older versions of AutoIt/SciTe? I tried cleaning with CCleaner but to no avail! Thing is, although they're the same X-Launcher.exe name, they're in a different location, which seems to make a difference even with RH. The code you supplied is different from the download: Yours: Mine, from wPP site: Perhaps this is just the code telling AutoIt how to make the X-Launcher.exe? and therefore isn't important that it differs? Btw, What are the reasons for the two x-compiler.au3? x-compiler ORIG.au3 and x-compiler PERS.exe, PERS = personal? | ||

Or I took mine from an older version, I cannot remember. In any case they look very similar ('exe' output and 'production' version just better specified, only difference is compression mode) and both working: I have just successfully tested "from WPP site" code | ||

I tested your supplied AutoIt again. This time I first tested a compile with your (x-compile ORIG.au3) source, but this gave me error's regarding Java and then after clicking all windows I got an exe without icon again. Then I tested your AutoIt with a downloaded source and I got no errors and an exe containing the wPP icon. So far so good. Next, I tried compiling again, but I changed all references to wPP and X-Launcher to the AppName as well as changing the icon in the graphics folder... SUCCESS!!! Everything worked, now for a quick test to see if this newly created Launcher does the job! AARRGGHH!! I cut/pasted the launcher to the app folder, icon fine, renamed Launcher to AppName.exe lose icon! Starts app fine though. Rename back to original name, icon appears. In fact, ANY name shows compiled icon except the actual AppName.exe?! Somehow, it seems, windows has cached the icons for exe's. EDIT: AHA! I did a search for Win10 icon cache and came up with this. Basically Windows 10 has an IconCache.db file in AppData/Local, delete this file to force windows to rebuild the icon cache, problem sorted!!! I hope! So I assume I cannot use any further updates to AutoIt then due to these errors? I always keep apps up to date, does it matter with AutoIt? Is there a chance of bugs using older versions? Thanks so much for your help and patience, you've been great [ Edited Thu 04 Feb 2016 - 16:42 ] | ||

Yeah, this should be the trick, soon or later I will fix it too but I'm quite lazy and all in all my test was very conservative EDIT: AHA! I did a search for Win10 icon cache and came up with this.

You may try to upgrade step-by-step, I mean, starting from my version and using a working configuration you may change (1) x.compiler.au3 settings, (2) SciTe inside, then (3) AutoIt, or vice versa starting from the latest AutoIt instead.So I assume I cannot use any further updates to AutoIt then due to these errors?

Seems a bit overkill using AutoIt just to change icon and text! Nuvolari wrote ...
