iconUrl should accept local files

[romaincointepas]

setupIcon does accept a local .ico file, is there any reason why it can't be the same for iconUrl (which should just be named icon then)?

If you use a local .ico file, it'll only work on your computer - the Squirrel installer downloads the icon for the uninstaller on-install. This isn't ideal, but it's how it works right now

So why can't icon be distributed with application package?

Why can't icon be integrated into installer?

Because IconURL is a URL, and if you specify things that aren't URLs, NuGet will blow up. I suppose we could try a file: URL but that'd be quite unintuitive for people

@paulcbetts anything.. as long as we can assign some sort of icon to local path :)

Well, it's not possible right now because of nuget limitations. Feel free to open issue agains nuget or squirrel.windows.

can we reopen this? this is still an issue on private networks with no access to the internet
NuGet fixed their issue already long ago: NuGet/Home#352
