>You shouldn't need to do that to get it to work. In my app, I have the cursor files included in the project. When I distribute an exe, I also send the cursor files with it. Without doing that, when you drag an object, you see the entire object outline, instead of the cursor specified for that object.

At run time with the EXE, I print the MouseIcon property and it was reflecting d:\main\h_point.cur which is not my install directory. So, it was normal it was not shown.

I changed the class to adjust the MouseIcon property and now at run time, it displays the EXE path and it now works.
