On the Windows 7 workstation the the Icon included in my EXE is shown. On my Windows 8 workstation I can not manage to get the icon shown. I also tryed to add another "standalone" ico file to the dekstop link. But the icon is not show. Insted I get an icon that looks like a blank sheet of paper.

I don't know specifically about Windows 8. But are sure to have an icon file that has a resolution level that is compatible with W8? I may be wrong but I reckon that new versions of Windows typically tend to require that your icon file includes multiples views including a higher definition one (vs legacy versions).
