To be fair, though, after some offline communication, I find that the OP's
confusion seems owing more to the state of the documentation on this point.
The first page of the Apple Help Programming Guide gives the explicit
impression that the reader is about to be told how to construct Apple Help
for any system including 10.4 or later. However, when we get to the third
page (Authoring Apple Help) we are told that the way to get an icon is to
"use the HPDBookIconPath key in the Info.plist file" - instructions which
apply only if you are using the new bundle-based help book format, which
works only in 10.6. There is no mention whatever of the AppleIcon meta tag,
which is what is needed. The only way to find out about it is to look in the
"legacy document", which is hardly easy to discover:
