Icon related error for versions > 2.0 #173

I recently upgraded pynsist and now I get the following error when building my installer:

Error while loading icon from "eye.ico": unable to read icon from file
Error in macro MUI_INTERFACE on macroline 86
Error in macro MUI_PAGE_INIT on macroline 7
Error in macro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME on macroline 5
Error in script "build\nsis\installer.nsi" on line 30 -- aborting creation process

Downgrading back to version 2.0 fixes the issue, which seems to be present for versions 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.

Looking at the release notes, version 2.1 uses the icon in more places than before, due to PR #143. Possibly your icon file is not in the format that NSIS expects. How are you creating it?
