Using "signAndEditExecutable": false and "verifyUpdateCodeSignature": false will disable icon

See original GitHub issue

Electron-Builder Version: 23.0.3

Node Version: 16.14.2

Electron Version: 19.0.4
Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

Target: Windows

If you are using

"signAndEditExecutable": false,
"verifyUpdateCodeSignature": false,

the electron-builder ignores any icon specified in electron-builder.json, resulting in app using the native app icon instead of specified one. This is probably not intended behavior(disabling code signing in electron-builder should not disable app icon).

To reproduce issue you can use this project.

Maybe friendly ping @mmaietta so this doesn’t just go by?

Editing the executable is the only way to apply an icon, which is paired heavily with signing logic flow.

Happy to review a PR that decouples them, but it seems like it’s a very complex flow that I’m not familiar with.
