I could only assume that you've hard-code in the path to the icon. So, when you run the exe, presumably there's some s/w that dynamically assesses the user's paths (which may well not be at all like those in your dev system), and can't find it. Also your init. s/w may well set up the user's paths. Hence, FULLPATH() would find the icon if it's somewhere installed on the user's sys, in the spec. path.

Now I also said have you included the icon in your proj., so it gets "burnt" into the exe.

Just some considerations and may well not apply to you.
