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.

    I'm going to be the snarky SOB that says it's the same reason they're still using NTFS when dozens of open and objectively better file systems have been created in the thirty years since--no one seems to hold them to any practical standards.

    Rcedit can do the job, but it isn't an open license and you would need to run it through Wine on Linux or *BSD.

    Does anyone know if it is at all possible to specify an SVG icon like a sane person yet? At least on 11?
