Add me to the list of developers that got bit by this undocumented feature. The problem, as it was told to me by MS support is, Foxpro will attempt to locate any drives for any file referenced in the project file(pjx). Therefor all the project files must be on a drive that can be found and accessed when the app is run. The needed drives are stored in the EXE and even if all needed code is in the EXE Foxpro will still try to find all the drives that were referenced in the project. Anyone running the app without all the drives Foxpro thinks it needs will get this error.

To double check that you have no drive letters specified other than the C: drive, open the Anyapp.pjx data file and browse the the following fields:

Use MyApp.prx
browse fields fld1 = name,fld2=outfile,fld3=homedir


Bottom line, for 2.6 apps all code should be on Drive C when compiled, since all! PCs have a C drive.
