pyinstaller doesn't load app icon

In my Application i used pyside-rcc to generate qrc file

<RCC>
  <qresource prefix="/" >
    <file>images/icon.jpg</file>
  </qresource>
</RCC>

using this command

pyside-rcc images.qrc -o images.py

then i imported it to my application 

import images

and set the app icon 

MainWindow.setWindowIcon(QtGui.QIcon(':/images/icon.jpg'))

when i run my application with python

python app.py

i can see the icon, nothing wrong with it

but when i compile it with pyinstaller

pyinstaller -i icon.co -w app.py

icon.co is only another file located in the main directory to set the exe icon.

the exe has an icon but when i open my application in the title or the head the icon images/icon.jpg isn't loaded, also i don't see it in the toolbar.

enter image description here

I also tried to add Tree('path\to\images') but it didn't work!

It was very trivial .... just used .png instead of .ico or .jpg to make it work.

this didn't also work for .ico

QPlugin = QPluginLoader("qico4.dll")

which was mentioned here How to include icons in application when using Pyinstaller 2.0 ,PySide 1.1.2 Bindings and Qt 4.8
