Hi All,
Just wanted to share something I found. 
Here is how to add a cool Icon & Version Information to your app EXE file. Unless you specify the path, leave the App.ico in your Package directory. Create a .rc file in the Package directory and add it to your package like any other file. Below is an example of what content can you put in .rc file.
the below example is not my own, its from here. For more example and information about Icon, VERSIONINFO, OS Code, Language Code.
RC files also supports a subset of the preprocessor directives, #defines, #include, #pragmas etc
5556 ICON "App.ico"
1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1,0,0,0
PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,0
BEGIN
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
BEGIN
BLOCK "080904E4"
BEGIN
VALUE "CompanyName", "My Company Name"
VALUE "FileDescription", "My excellent application"
VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0"
VALUE "InternalName", "my_app"
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "My Name"
VALUE "OriginalFilename", "my_app.exe"
VALUE "ProductName", "My App"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "1.0"
END
END
BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
BEGIN
VALUE "Translation", 0x809, 1252
END
END
