Did you read the documentation on the #:aux parameter to 
create-embedding-executable? I didn't see you mention it, so I don't 
understand why it didn't work for you.

http://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/exe.html

It appears that --ico and --icns are provided as arguments to 'raco exe' 
as a frontend to this, though it isn't mentioned in the documentation. 
Try running 'raco exe --help' to see what arguments are possible.

Document icons are part of the registry. You can see how the Racket 
installer (NSIS based) does this here:

Look for Racket.Document\DefaultIcon .
