I created an executable (SFX) file with an icon 32 x 32 and 16 colors.

In BCB5 and BCB6 when i extracted the icon from that file with
  HICON hico = ExtractIcon(HInstance, File.c_str(), 0);
I got the original icon size is 766 bytes

Now when I do the same using TurboC++ 2006 I receive an icon 32 x 32 but 
with 2^32 colors. size is 4KB

Is there anything we can do to extract the icon from this ( or any other 
file) with its original size and color dept?
Or has somebody a function to replace an icon by another one with 
different size that can/will work all windows version
(ReplaceResource only works in NT based systems)
