Hi Daniel,
Given your description of the issue with blank icons as specific to some
deployments only, it may be a Windows issue.
"missing" .ico files in app image should not be the cause.
However, I find it suspicious that other app icons are OK on your
screenshots and only an icon of the package-created app is blank. If you
have a reproducible example, please file a bug!

Hi Alexey, all,
Thank you very much for your reply and the pointers you provided.
Honestly I don't mind whether the ico file is part of the exe or not.
It should just work as expected.
Having said that, we are seeing issues that in some cases it doesn't
seem to work (i.e., not showing any icon).
Let's hope this is an exception🤞
Thanks,
-- Daniel

Hi Daniel,
On Windows, the jpackage embeds icons in app launcher executables and
there is no reason to keep these .ico files in the app image. In
[1], it
was reasonably requested not to include app launcher icons in the app
image on Windows, and that was fulfilled.
