Shortcut icon not loading properly in electron-packager

Question

Explanation

I'm trying to run electron-packager in my project, currently using a windows x64 and compiling a ia32 version, this is the package config inside my package.json:

"package": "electron-packager ./ --prune=true --arch=ia32 --win32metadata.ProductName=myProdName --icon=favicon.ico --overwrite=true"

The problem is, when the project is compiled the icon isn't displayed properly, but if I go in the properties the icon is the one selected, see the images below:

Icon displayed in the folder

Icon displayed in properties

Would like to get some help in this, really don't know what more can I do to get this right.

Answer 1

Already found the error, it was in my package JSON. Instead of:

   --icon=favicon.ico

It sould be:

    --icon=./favicon.ico

Needs the ./ in the start to identify
