Electron-builder: image must be at least 256x256

Created on 11 Jan 2018 · 9Comments · Source: electron-userland/electron-builder

Version: 19.53.4

Target: NSIS Web Win x64 and ia32

Building my app now always results in the following error:

image C:\Users\johann.rekowski\Documents\Apps\Media-Presenter\build\icon.ico must be at least 256x256

The .ico file is 256x256, I tried also using the 1024x1024 png version of my icon in the build folder but then it applies an icon that has horribly jagged edges.

I tried downgrading (used to work with 19.53.3), but since today there is some unlocked dependency that is not compatible with 19.53.3 which causes a bunch of errors when I try to build with the downgraded version:

I have the same problem building for Mac. I'm using electron-builder 20.36.2.

Version 19.53.2 seems to work as expected.

HitomiTenshi on 11 Jan 2018

I confirm for 19.53.4

Working: 19.52.1

d-schloss-mvg on 12 Jan 2018

I'm reproducing this on 19.53.4 with an .ico a that has a full complement of sizes: 16px all the way to 256px, verified by extracting components via imagemagick. I do note that windows explorer's 'details' tab shows the file as 128x128, but the file has all sizes.

(platform: Windows 10, building for x64)
