Windows build fail since the icon.ico at wrong position.

[asika32764]

• Electron-Builder Version: 24.6.3

• Node Version: v16.20.0

• Electron Version: 25.3.2
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: win portable

Windows build will fail because the icon.ico will put to ${version}/.icon-ico/ dir, not x.x.x/.icon-ico/ dir.

Error message

Error output:
Error while loading icon from "E:...\release\0.0.0.icon-ico\icon.ico": can't open file
failedTask=build stackTrace=Error: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\electron-builder\Cache\nsis\nsis-3.0.4.1\Bin\makensis.exe process failed ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE

The config file:

appId: xxx
asar: false
directories:
    output: release/${version}

files:
    - dist
    - electron

icon: public/editor-icon.png

win:
    target:
        - target: portable
          arch:
              - x64
    artifactName: "${productName}_${version}.${ext}"

NOTE: Building in MacOS works well, only fail in Windows.

Same issue 🫤 any workarounds?

I can also reproduce the issue.

Seems to be the follow issue with the

Changing the output directory to remove the ${version} fixed it for now e.g.

{
  "directories": {
    "output": "release",
  },
}

Is there a proper solution to this other than hardcoding the version in the file?
