  1. Use InsertPeIntoPng.py to create the embedded PNG file and generate the extraction LNK file:

The generated LNK file will have the icon of a PDF file by default, and it will expect the embedded PNG file to be in the same directory when executed. PE files will be stored under the %TEMP% directory for execution.
