Changing the game icon . . .

Hey!
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 installed on my computer as well as TGB indie pro. I'd like to change the executable icon of some games. I have no knowledge when it comes to programming or C++. Could someone help me out?

What are your options if you do not have the Pro version? How would you go about changing the icon then.

I'm having issues trying to get the icon to change, specifically building the T2D SDK solution. The build report gives me this error:
It gives this error for both the TorqueGameBuilder project and the TGBGame project. What am I doing wrong?

Hey, (again)I'm having issues trying to get the icon to change, specifically building the T2D SDK solution. The build report gives me this error:
8>Compiling resources... 8>Compiling manifest to resources... 8>Linking... 8>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '..\..\link\debug\glu2d3d_debug.lib'
It gives this error for both the TorqueGameBuilder project and the TGBGame project. What am I doing wrong?

Alright, I eliminated the above error by telling Visual Studio to stop skipping 2 of the projects, but after building one of my games -- the old t2d icon persists on the Pirates.exe. I'm trying the build again after switching all the projects from "Debug" to "Release", and I'm hoping that I don't do anything unsightly to my computer.;)

Okay, I got the icon switched. I'm not sure if I just needed to restart after the first successful build, or if the switch from debug to release mode did the trick. I'd appreciate it if a programmer could tell me! :D
Thanks,
Kevin

I once asked the same question. Give this a read, and good luck. It's really easy.
