Custom marker icon from local file in Google Earth plugin?

Hello,

I have Google Maps running in an IE OLE control that is embedded in a
non-web app. I want to place markers with custom icons on the maps.
The icons are visible on the maps, as well as in the Google Earth
plugin, if I do this:

var icon = new GIcon(G_DEFAULT_ICON);
icon.image = "http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/micons/
blue-dot.png";
var opts = { "icon": icon };
var pos = new GLatLng(dLat, dLng);
var marker = new GMarker(pos, opts);
gMap.addOverlay(marker);

But if I change the second line to this:

icon.image = "file:///C:/blue-dot.png";

then the markers show up only on the maps, and not in the GE plugin.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the GE plugin not able to use local
files as custom icons?
