I had to postprocess the exe with resourcehacker freeware:
http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Resource Hacker\ResourceHacker.exe" -open
skydiaA.exe -save skydia.exe -action addskip -res Mainicon.ico -mask
ICONGROUP,MAINICON,

creates skydia.exe with the "wish icon".
skydiaA.exe has the default icon.
