Application Icon Missing from Windows 10 "Remove Programs" and "Settings->Apps & Features" menus

See original GitHub issue

11.2.4:

Windows -> NSIS:

When installed from NSIS installer, the application is missing an icon in the windows “Remove Programs” menu, as well as the “Settings->Apps & Features” menu. remove_programs apps_features

The application icon IS visible everywhere else (NSIS installer, desktop shortcut, start menu, application executable etc). It may be worth noting that when installed from the Squirrel installer, the application icon is NOT missing from the 2 previously mentioned locations.

Relevant portions of my package.json:

 "build": {
    "appId": "xxx",
     "nsis":{
      "oneClick": false,
      "allowElevation": true,
      "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true
    },
    "squirrelWindows":{
      "iconUrl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/xxxx",
      "msi": false
    },
    "win":{
      "target": [
        "nsis",
        "squirrel"
      ],
      "icon": "build/icon.ico"
    }
  }

This is still happening for me on a legacy Squirrel build.

I’m on the following versions:

 "electron": "^2.0.5",
 "electron-builder": "20.24.2",
 "electron-builder-squirrel-windows": "20.24.2",

This is my config:

"build": {
    "nodeGypRebuild": false,
    "squirrelWindows": {
      "iconUrl": "http://app.ico"
    },
    "win": {
      "target": "squirrel"
    }
  }
