Try to extract the PE header and paste it here. 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

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

I like Winrar. That is no problem before dmd 2.089.0. If I add an icon in exe for example I got this problem.

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
