Mark,
Try this:
Use the resource editor to remove resources one at a time from your compiled
app. Do it until your icon appears. You ought to find the offending
resource. When you build your app, try using Delphi's 'build project'
command. I've had a few projects that have bugs if I don't do 'build all'.
Regards,
Dennis.
