If you're trying to make the icon show in Windows Explorer, that's not really feasible.

Explorer (or rather, the shell) will only read icons from the file for EXEs and shortcuts. All DLL files will have the standard DLL icon, no matter what you do to the DLL.

If you really want to, you can probably edit the registry to make the shell on your machine only read icons from all DLLs the same way it does for EXEs, but if a program did that on my machine, I would be very, very cross.
