Description

I tried compiling the windows package with branding enabled, yet the output generated was nextcloud.exe and the build failed as the script was searching for brandedname.exe

Please advice how to created a branded theme

Research direction

Start by tracing the Windows package build scripts that handle branding and executable naming. Reproduce a branded build and compare the generated nextcloud.exe with the brandedname.exe the script expects. Done means the branded build completes and produces the consistently named executable; the issue does not identify a specific file or test.
