Releasify fails if -i specified

[Esardes]

I'm trying to releasify my nuspec (via package manager console). Works smoothly without an icon, but when I specify it it fails with stack:

Squirrel : System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Exception: Failed to modify resources, command invoked was: 'C:\Users\john\Documents\Repos\Win\MyAppWindows\packages\squirrel.windows.1.6.0\tools\rcedit.exe

I got the same problem. Did you get any solution to this?

@MrBjorn no I had to give up on using the proper icon for the installer

@Esardes @MrBjorn Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest version of Squirrel?
