Dimitry,

Also check to assure that you have assigned a "Working Directory". It's designated in the section where you assign the "program group" and "sub menu".

I assign the ISE INSTALLDIR as:
[ProgramFilesFolder]R6Solutions\R6Program
And the DATABASEDIR as:
[INSTALLDIR]

In the files section the tree looks like this
- Destination Computer
   - [ProgramFilesFolder]
     - R6Solutions
       - R6Program [DATABASEDIR] && This folder will have exe and config.fpw
           - DAT   && For DBFs
           - USR   && User profile stuff
           - IMX   && Image files
           - WAV   && Sound files
           - HLP   && Guess!
In the ISE Configuration and Target System Section:
- Shortcuts
  - Taskbar
    - Start Menu
      - Programs Menu
        - R6 Solutions && Text on the program Menu
          - R6 Application && Short cut sub menu text 
When the "R6 Application" (or short cut) is assigned and selected, on the right there is:
Target = [DATABASEDIR]R6EXE.exe && Name of the exe
Working Directory = [DATABASEDIR]
