How can I refresh the resource file for an EXE?

Question

I am trying to include a custom icon in one of our existing powerbuilder applications. I was able to do this by building a runtime library with the resource file included.

It looks like developers before me didn't have this problem as I do not have to build with the resource file in order to deploy code changes.

What are some of the alternatives to building a runtime library with a resource file? We are using PowerBuilder 11.

By runtime library do you mean PBD files? – Hugh Brackett Sep 19 '12 at 17:03 — Hugh Brackett, Sep 19 '12 at 17:03

If you want to include just an icon, you do not need to build a specific .pbd.

Mention your icon file into the .pbr resource file associated with your deployment project (in the first tab settings, where you select to produce either pcode or machine code). It will be included directly into the .exe.

Thanks. PowerBuilder is a fickle beast, and I have yet to learn all its tricks. – tylerjgarland Sep 20 '12 at 16:23
