Can you post the ico file here? I will test it to see if it's the icon file itself that's the problem.

What you have there is not an .ico file, it's just a 48 x 48 .png file with the extension changed.

I have converted it to a proper .ico file but it's very poor resolution. If you can provide a .png at 256 x 256 then I can recreate it again, but this attachment will work to build your .exe file on Windows.
