Default exe file icon changing

Question

I've read I have to add these lines into my .au3 file:

#Region
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=C:\myicon.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.0
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion_AutoIncrement=y
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#EndRegion

I've put myicon.ico into the C:\ directory.

Then I right click on my .au3 file and click Compile, everything is fine, but the default icon is still the AutoIT icon.

This is one of the things that has bothered me about the compile process for quite a while. It doesn't work if you right click your file and 'Compile'.

You have to go via the Start menu > AutoIt v3 > Compile Script to .exe. Once you select your script, you will see your settings loaded into the GUI.

You can create a batch script to execute AutoIt's compilation.

For example:

@echo off

set FOLDER_CURRENT=%cd%    

set VERSION=v0.x.x.x
set STATUS=prod
set NAME_PROJECT=nameProject_%VERSION%_%STATUS%
set EXE_OUT=%NAME_PROJECT%.exe

set FOLDER_SRC=%FOLDER_CURRENT%\..\src\
set FOLDER_OUT=%FOLDER_CURRENT%\%VERSION%\%NAME_PROJECT%
set ICON_PATH=%FOLDER_SRC%\images\icon.ico
set AUT2EXE_ARGS=/in "%FOLDER_SRC%\main_script.au3" /out "%FOLDER_OUT%\%EXE_OUT%" /icon "%ICON_PATH%"

echo ----[Compilation with aut2exe]----
aut2exe %AUT2EXE_ARGS%
echo -----------------------------------

In this batch script, you can do more things like:

Create output directory
Copy all necessary directories and files ressources (images, icon, ...)
Create another file text
Zip the output folder in order to make deployement easy
Push the release on git server
