New page

This is a "HowTo" to create an Installer that has no icon resource.

== Why that? ==
* Because you might want to let your User's System decide what icon to show, see this forumthread: [http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=255618]
* Because the Icon Resource adds additional overhead to any installer using it

== How do i do that? ==
You'll find the easiest known method on the second page of the forumthread, but i'll post it here again:

First, download and install ''Resource Hacker'' [http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/] to your system.

Then add this compile time command line at the end of your .nsi script:
!packhdr "exehead.tmp" '"C:\Program Files\ResHack\ResHacker.exe" -delete exehead.tmp, exehead.tmp, icongroup,103,'

Of course you may need to adjust the path you installed ''Resource Hacker'' to.
