Well it seems that we have once more had a regression in that the windows x64 zip build of factorio is missing the embedded application icon again.
I'm not sure about if it occures if one uses the installer or updater as I have only used the zip version but it is a feature regression in some way at least.
Your absolutely right, and I have no idea how I missed the other one, I could have sworn that I gave the first page a once over, and used crtl-f to search the page for the word icon so I am at a loss as to how I missed the other post. All I can figure is that I must have looked more heavily under "Resolved for next release" and not under normal bug reports since in the past this had had such a simple fix on their end.
