rcedit.exe is not working on Windows
See original GitHub issueI have the following options for my grunt task:
windowsBuild: {
options: {
name: 'Cameron',
dir: 'app',
out: 'dist',
version: '0.25.3',
platform: 'win32',
arch: 'ia32',
icon: 'icon.ico'
}
}
but the icon isn’t applied to the final dist app… I just get the default Electron icon.
The ico file is valid and at the specified location!
Tried on Windows 7.

Windows shortcut icons default to the default app icon, but they can also be set to any icon resource, e.g., another icon resource embedded in the target executable or an icon resource in a dll. I know there are ways to change this programmatically, a super quick search brings up https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2005/08/12/how-can-i-change-the-icon-for-an-existing-shortcut/ - hope this helps point in the right direction!
