Delphi 64-bit: Can't use DLL icons

[Alextp]

Q: I use Delphi XE2 64-bit to compile FS plugin DLL. I cannot embed icon in Compiled DLL

A: This is because D 64bit uses MSBuild system to create resources, it recreates resources from Proj options. In proj options u cannot specify icon. So DLL doesn't contain it. Solution to make RES/VRC file R/O doesn't work: MSBuild then stops.
Solution to add new *.RES also doesn't work.

(From me)

Have you tried a simple
{$R resourcefile.res}

in the source?

Btw, if you bundle 32-bit and 64-bit plugin (recommended), TC should take the icon from the 32-bit plugin.

yes. Icon appears in x64 DLL then, but TC can't see it. See MSIE Cache plugin 1.4.4.1. No Icon.

If i bundle X32 too, then icon appears. But not in single X64.

I usually delete the 32bit plugins manually anyway in my TC x64 installations - so it would be nice if the icons could work for the 64bit plugins too.

I don't have TC x64 here at work, but at home I have seen icons for other x64 file-system plugins in the file panel - so when I get home I'll check whether these other plugins only have .wfx64 files installed.
