I'm trying to establish a new icon (which is in the project folder) for an application (this may be windows-specific)

Then I can go into my main code and write

Code:

Winclass.hIcon(hinstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(BIGICON));

Also, I want to import other bitmaps for my gui.

Unfortunately, even using Visual Studio C++ 6.0 Resource Script tool causes the syntax error. This error occurs with a mostly blank main file of

Code:

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include "icons.rc"

What am I doing wrong?
