In your original message, I had overlooked the fact that you had excluded them.

An excluded file will have to be distributed separately; it will be sought outside the EXE.

Any changes to the external file should be reflected, without recompiling.

It occurs to me that perhaps you have more than one version of the external file. Try to do a file search (press F3 in Windows Explorer), to see if you have more than one file with the same name.
