Ok, I see the issue here. How's this look now:

#DEFINE RUNTIME              EMPTY(VERSION(2))

#DEFINE IMAGE_LOC_RUNTIME    ADDBS(SYS(5) + SYS(2003)) + "Graphics\"
#DEFINE IMAGE_LOC_DEV        ADDBS(SYS(5) + SYS(2003)) + "Media\"

#DEFINE IMAGE_LOC_BASE       IIF(RUNTIME, IMAGE_LOC_RUNTIME, IMAGE_LOC_DEV)

#DEFINE IMAGE_LOC_EFFECTS    IIF(RUNTIME, IMAGE_LOC_BASE, IMAGE_LOC_BASE + "Effects")
#DEFINE IMAGE_LOC_QA         IIF(RUNTIME, IMAGE_LOC_BASE, IMAGE_LOC_BASE + "Toolbars")
#DEFINE IMAGE_LOC_ARROWS     IIF(RUNTIME, IMAGE_LOC_BASE, IMAGE_LOC_BASE + "Arrows")
