This part is the interesting bit @amrbashir :

  thread 'main' panicked at 'error found during tauri-build: failed to compile `icons/icon.ico` into a 
Windows Resource file during tauri-build', 
C:\...\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\tauri-build-1.0.0-beta.4\src\lib.rs:88:5

Thanks for the stacktrace @SyntaxRules

[nothingismagick]

Can you verify that src-tauri/icons/icon.ico exists @SyntaxRules ?

[SyntaxRules]

@nothingismagick Yup it is there!

[nothingismagick]

Just so we leave no stone unturned:

does yarn tauri build have the same segfault?

[SyntaxRules]

Yup same error when running yarn tauri build

This is a weird error tbh, Can you try replacing src-tauri/icons/icon.ico with any other ico ?

[SyntaxRules]

@amrbashir Here are a couple more data points for you.

First, renaming an icon and editing tauri.conf.json produces a different error.
What that looks like:

The stacktrace:

Second, if I replace the icon with one of my own I get the same error as before. Note this icon has to be named icon.ico because of the comment above.

What that looks like:

The stack trace:

yarn run v1.22.17

Thanks for the info, we will try to investigate this.

Seems like you don't have the Windows SDK installed. Your output shows Selected RC path: 'bin\x64\rc.exe', mine is Selected RC path: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64\rc.exe'.
