I am pretty sure Resource Hacker can do this, and some other things, I believe i recognize its icon from when i used it a while back. Hope that helps you!

Thats fantastic: and almost perfect, except I cant run it as part of my build process because it's not command line based. Upvote for an interesting link though.

I found this: http://www.heaventools.com/command-line_resource_editor.htm. Shame they want an inordinate amount of cash for it.

Its not a console application, but you can still run it with parameters and perform a single "action" without user interaction. It also supports script files if you need to perform several actions

No no, I really do! The reason is convoluted: I need to add custom icons to some utilities I build using PyInstaller. The problem is the out of the box functionality relies on pywin32 which is OK, except that I run my build in a sandbox provided by `virtualenv` and `pip` in combination: unfortunately, I cannot find a way to get `pywin32` to install at all: there appears to be no way to get it to build in this environment. So to side-step the issue, I wanted to be able to change the icon after PyInstaller has done it's bit.

Unfortunately I later found it was not feature complete. Still with little effort someone could finish it off: it was only one `cpp` source file and the code was very clean.

Have you seen Resource Hacker? You can also drive it via the command line (script) so I'm sure it could be incorporated into your build.

(KIITOS) Thanks to Ville Laurikari I was looking for a way to create an OBJ from a RES File and your answer was what I needed.
