1. custom exe icon: if you want set an icon (.ico file) as icon of exe file, copy your ico file into /src/windows/asset/icon.ico, overwrite exists one.

2. version and vendor in pom.xml,

<!--...-->
<build>
    <plugins>
        <!--...-->
        <plugin>
            <!--...-->
            <configuration>
                <!--...-->
                <releaseConfiguration>
                    <!--...-->
                    <vendor>VendorName</vendor>
                    <version>1.0.0</version>
                </releaseConfiguration>

            </configuration>
        </plugin>

    </plugins>
</build>
<!--...-->

VendorName can be any string as you wish, but take care of version, it must be different every time you make package (msi file), if you install an old version one, and then try to install a new one with the same version, it will be failure. And the version must increase every time, if new package(msi)'s version less than old one, it also can not install.
