In Windows 10, change the syntax slightly

<HTA:application
    icon = 'path_to_icofile'
>

Microsoft has removed this functionality since IE10 was introduced.

To use a custom icon for HTA, you'll need an .ico file. Then you can assign an icon to a file in <HTA> like this:

<HTA:application
    icon = "path_to_icofile"
>

By my experience, Windows7 doesn't have full support for all features forHTA object. Unfortenately icon is one of those partly non-supported features. The file with custom icon occasionally looses its icon and uses some random icon instead.

You can read more about HTAs at MSDN.
