Embedding icon in .exe with py2exe, visible in Vista?

Question

I\'ve been trying to embed an icon (.ico) into my \"compyled\" .exe with py2exe.

Py2Exe does have a way to embed an icon:

windows=[{
    \'script\':\'MyS

The link to the Greenfish Iceon Editor Pro is broken. I scanned the net and found Download IcoFX Used the IcoFX program on my .exe file and could see that indeed it contained my icon.

Using the menu Image->Create Windows Icons from Image, and then accepting the choices I got a new .ico file that worked on both win7 and win xp.

Before that my single 48x48.ico file just didn't show up as an icon for the program.
