Additionally, it's possible the files aren't even self contained and when you run the installer they are downloaded from some server. So, it's not as much that you need to decompress it (into, say, its source) but to somehow extract the files without putting them in their place (which, without being an administrator, you can't do.) Short of running it in some sort of sandbox or VM, I'm not sure that's possible, although I am by no means an expert on anything Windows. This code will extract the icon from the executable file and create an ICO file in the same directory.JTron wrote:If I understand correctly, you've got some sort of installer that's bundled up all nifty into a nice little exe file.

If you don’t want to use any tools, you can manually extract the icon from an executable using Microsoft PowerShell. But you can also get the installer which provides some additional features.Įxtract EXE File to Icon Using PowerShell This app comes in a portable version which you can launch immediately after downloading. However, this may take up a lot of memory and can take for a long time. You can even perform a scan of entire hard disk partitions. There’s also an option to scan entire folders with their subfolders for the executable files. You can search for an individual file by typing its name in the box or by browsing the file explorer. There’s also an option to filter out unnecessary icon sizes and choose formats, and color depth. Right after you launch it, a ’Search for icons’ window will appear where you’ll need to select the files and cursors that you want to scan. Unlike IconViewer, IconsExtract is a stand-alone EXE file that doesn’t require any installation. There is also an option to select multiple EXE files and when you repeat the steps 1-3, you’ll see all of their embedded icons in the same window. The tool will then automatically extract the icon from the EXE file.Choose the location of the new image and the desired image format (BMP or PNG).Choose the proper image size and color depth from the ’Device images’ menu.Click on the icon that you want to extract.You’ll see all the icons tied to that file.
