'Unable to set icon'

[robi-wan]

Using the current rcedit artifact leads to the above mentioned error: 'Unable to set icon'.

The error was introduced in commit af37f5f.
(I verified this with artifacts from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/electron-bot/rcedit/build/1.0.23/job/bc57s50clgkbab7x/artifacts and https://ci.appveyor.com/project/electron-bot/rcedit/build/1.0.22/job/brndccen9f9ovdc2/artifacts. The artifact from the previous commit - d65120c - worked.)

The changes to the function SetIcon may have caused this.

Here is the test output from https://github.com/electron/node-rcedit with the artifact from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/electron-bot/rcedit/build/1.0.23/job/bc57s50clgkbab7x/artifacts:

Thanks for finding out the troubling commit, I must have broken something when refactoring, I'll look into it.

still got same error:
electron-packager .--overwrite --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --icon=electronApp\icon --prune=true --out=release-builds
Packaging app for platform win32 x64 using electron v1.7.9
rcedit.exe failed with exit code 1. Fatal error: Unable to set icon

I don't think node-rcedit has been updated with this fix. There's a slight problem if you do that, anyway (see #66).
