As been stated in FB 41302 the (2015r3) compiled 64-bit exe will not contain icon and file-info.
Does anyone know a simple windows tool to add this info afterwards ?
Resource hacker can do that
Downloaded Resource Hacker from the author page at http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ and opened a 64 bit test app.
Only the manifest is visible. The very nice thing is that it is extremely simple to modify it, so it is a very good tool to solve such issues as described here : https://forum.xojo.com/19389-how-to-modify-embedded-exe-manifest/0
We need another tool to insert the icon.
Tested on Win7 64 bit inside VM using Resource Hacker 4.2.5

It does work here with a 32 bit build where resources are visible, but not with a 64 bit build where the only visible resource is the manifest.
What you show, is it a 64 bit build ? If so I would love to know how you it working, step by step.
No, actually the program is a real windows 64 bit apps. I’ve taken from one of my current projects to show you that resource hacker is really work. Resource hacker is old program that i used to use to change manifest file of VB programs in old days.
In Action menu, click Add Single Binary or Image Resource, then select *.ico file, click Add Resource and then save.
I just rename the file name and delete all libraries.
Now indeed the exe shows up with a new icon.
But when I try to run the modified file, I get an error message :
The program can’t start because .DLL is missing from your computer.Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem
Three MsgBox in a row, then the program exits.
My bad, not tested the modified version. It seems that resource hacker can only modify/replace the existing icon only, not create a new one (at least for xojo apps).
