The bulk icon is already part of the binary bootloader (see
support/loader/*.exe: they already have icons). The files you deleted would
affect recompilation of the bootloader, which is usually not performed on
Windows.

If you specify an icon with Makespec.py, the icon should be inserted into
the executable, overwriting the bulk one. I have no idea why the process
fails for you.
