Extracting icons from a DLL or EXE using Visual Studio

Filed under: Development — Tags: , , — steve @ 3:42 pm

This is another post to file under “things that took me too long to discover via google”…

Although there are plenty of tools available to extract icons from DLLs and EXEs, these are unnecessary if you have Visual Studio installed (I am using 2010). To extract an icon, do the following:

  1. In Visual Studio, File -> Open -> File…
  2. Select Petrel.exe -> Open
  3. Expand Icon folder
  4. Right-click on icon of interest -> Export…

Simple.
