I’m aware this has been the case since Windows 3.x, you always need an external program to ensure the executable is created with the icon you want. Why?

Please no mentions of Linux and other OSs, I know it’s trivial to do so for them.

    You add the icon to resource file when compiling don’t you?

    I don’t remember it being much of a chore. But it’s been a while since I created a desktop app.

    I’m fairly sure Linux requires a separate file to specify the icon as well doesn’t it?
