I have a problem with the version of TC 8.50 x32+64 (final) on Windows 7 x64.
The x32 version does not display the icons exe files. The x64 version displays the icons exe files correctly.
What is wrong?
Sorry for my english

32 bit programs cannot extract and display icons from 64 bit executables
(at least without some special routines).

So why did 32bit version of TC does not display icons 32bit executables?
TCx32 does not display icons for both 32bit and 64bit executables.
Where is the problem?

I do not have associated other actions to executable files (programs run correctly). Everything works fine except the display of icons .exe files.

Maybe the display of EXE/LNK files is disabled in Configuration - Options - Icons?

You can add the line
DebugIconThread=2
to wincmd.ini section [Configuration] to get a log of the icon extract functions (and some other functions). Do the EXE files appear in the log?

Line added, but where is the log file?

In %TEMP% directory.
Just type
or even better
(to put cursor directly on file)
in commandline, and press ENTER.

Yes indeed - please look in that file with F3 whether there are lines containing the string .EXE

The log file looks OK, but I was looking for the causes in Windows and found it. The problem was another program "Microangelo On Display v7.0.3 x64."
I uninstalled it and icons exe files are now displayed correctly.
Interesting because I have never used this program.
Many thanks for your advice and sorry for the confusion;)

I see, the program must have defined a DefaultIcon registry entry for exe files! In this case, TC will use that and not get the per file icons.

Interesting because the "problem" occurs (for me) only on Windows x64.
Ok, thanks again guys for your help
