So I figured out the problem; there's nothing wrong in farr, but the program installer. The icon path for this shortcut was set to `%SystemRoot%\Installer\{7CDF6754-F5A0-4F34-B589-197530FEF862}\ProgramIcon` — instead of the relevant exe/ico/dll path — which is actually the icon as shown. So false alarm, sorry. Very strange installer behavior.

I just noticed another broken icon, but it seems to be a diffferent problem. This happens with both the latest release and this thread's beta.




The properties window is the one opened through farr, which for the previous issue showed the broken path. This time farr actually gets the path right. The "skip some icon lookups" option is disabled. This copy of Spek (0.8.2) is installed with Chocolatey (which shouldn't make any difference).

Also, the latest release from the homepage installs 2.229.01 while the website says it'll be 2.234.01. The beta installer installs the same version number, 2.229.01.

Copying the exe to another path makes the icon work:

Well I'm om 10, so probably some influence from the OS changed between 7 and 10. Would you like to set up the source code and dev env on my pc and remote into it so you can debug it?

I'll try the beta in a minute.
