Application icon is corrupt after building
See original GitHub issue10.6.1
Windows Squirrel
The application icon for Windows builds is corrupt. The icon in the taskbar shows as below
Everything is correctly set in the build file ( build.win.icon
) . The Squirrel Installer icon is also missing, although the icon beside the Squirrel installer filename, and the main application executable filename do display correctly.
The BrowserWindow icon is also set correctly, and running the app using the electron
command from a terminal to launch the unpacked app from a folder, launches the app and the correct application icon is displayed in the taskbar.
After examining the folder of the installed app , it appears C:\Users\Alan\AppData\Local\MyElectronApp\app.icon
is corrupt.

@adam-lynch Hi 😃 If you use Squirrel.Windows, please try to use 10.9.2 (Squirrel.Windows upgraded to 1.5.1).
Someone should check — is it still an issue for recent rcedit (I guess — yes). I don’t have time to check and don’t want to introduce possible regressions for deprecated Squirrel.Windows.
