It's possible that something interfer with SFX header... can be also winrar that interpret wrongly the header. You should be able to see quickly any problem with the help of this table http://faydoc.tripod.com/structures/15/1594.htm

Try to uninstall ungerister winrar from your file manager or try a different file manager.

Dear Marcone, that you want we all to do? Rar detect sfx by small signature, and some bytes in exe looks like signature. But this is not the problem - just do not open your exe with rar. Or i just don't understand... Another options: 1. try to compile with anoter .res or/and another .ico (if magic bytes in .res) 2. wait next dmd version (if magic bytes in dmd runtime) 3. try gdc or ldc from https://dlang.org/download.html (if magic bytes in dmd runtime) 4 try to pack yor exe with free packer like https://upx.github.io/

5. Open WinRAR support issue 6. Upload your .exe and say WinRar version then other peoples can reproduce
