Vista extra large icons

Does anyone know of a way to get a Vista extra-large size
high-resolution icon into a 4D application? It seems as though 4D's
"build application" strips out the large sizes if you embed them into an
.ico file.

Has anyone else experimented with this at all?

Jeff,

We use an icon editor to change icons that are not covered by the Build
process.  This allows edit/replace but not add/delete.  The largest icon in
2004.7 is XP-size 48x48.  Maybe a newer editor or 4D does not have this
limitation.

Thanks - I'll give that a try. Which editor do you use?
