Fruit,
What is the DLL name?
PA Bear is right about not being a Vista group but there is no newsgroup to
answer your question
Around 2002, I wrote a program that rips icons from files. If you tell me
the DLL name I will use it to get to them but maybe there aren't any
embedded icons in that dll. If you replaced them then the virus scanners
would be going crazy as you are writing to those dll files & the scanners
won't like it
Fruit2O said:I have a 1995 program that exchanges/replaces icons. They are embedded
in dll files. On my Vista machine, I can get at all of them except one
dll. Message says it contains no icons. Any way to get at them?

Have you used your computer for anything yet? You seem to be obsessed
with icons.
Wise comments aren't called for. What I do with my computer is MY
business. Why are you wasting your time writing silly comments like
the one above?
Because this isn't the first "icon" thread you've started.

The name of the file is ihearres.dll. The icons are in there because
I still use the program (IconHear-It 1995) on my XP machine. The
program has other dll files where other icons reside - so I know the
icons are there. I've tried to "Change Icon" in properties. It
works with the other dll files - but not this one.
Obviously, there
are icons in there that I really liked. The program also installs in
my Vista machine - except for thos particular icons.
"Change icon" is used to change the icon used *by* the file, not to extract
one.
_____________
The file has 400 icons. If you'll make a copy of the file and change the
extension to ".icl" (no quotes) you can use any icon program that will
handle icon libraries to open it and extract what you want.
Try it - it works! Change the path when you use "Change Icon" to
other files and you'll see it works.
Usually, the executable will
render the primary icon of the program.
DLL's are usually loaded
with icons.
I know you can change the path. Doing so gives you access to other files
and allows you to select an icon from them for use by whatever you are
changing but it does not extract the icon for general use.
__________
I know that too.

Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. Depends on what the library file
is for.
Guess I don't understand your point. I've used icons from one program
in another program or to change an icon on my desktop that I like
better many times. I know "Change Icon" doesn't permanently extract
an icon for general use - but it does the job (usually) when I want
it to. This is the only time it hasn't worked.
So extract it as I suggested in my first reply.
For some reason, on the Vista machine, no icons appear to be in that
dll file. However, they are there when I do the same thing on the XP
Pro machine. Icon Ripper finds them and "Change Icon" does too.
1. Extract on XP machine with Icon Ripper
2. Use on Vista machine.
Downloaded version 2.0 and it won't install on my XP machine. Seems I
don't have the original IconRipper on that machine anymore. Can you
help?
