When you specify the fully qualified name of the file from which the executable file?s icon is taken at build time; if no file is specified, a default icon is used. The warning -5031 occurs when there is an improper link to the icon file.
To specify a file, type an explicit path, select and append to a path variable, or click the browse button to open the Change Icon dialog box, in which you can click the Browse button to select a file. By default, the icon with index 0 is used; to specify a different icon, either select an icon in the Change Icon dialog box or append the icon?s index or resource ID (preceded by a minus sign) to the file name.
