We have this if we build on one particular portable (so we try not to).
The usual cause is that there is a drive letter embedded in one of the
files in the project or within the project itself. It could be a Screen,
Report layout, anything.
About the only thing you have to go on is whereabouts in the application it
fails.
What's really needed is a wild card search and replace that will run
through memo fields.
