I think that I was not clear enough :P

All along the code, in all places where we set an resource images we specify the name of the resource with no path. While working with the IDE PB is able to display them because we copied all resource images to PB directory. If we build deploy the application from the IDE, icon and images included in the PBS as PB is able to locate them on PB directory.

My problem appears when I try to run PBAutoBuild from a complete different directory, it is not able to find the resources thus they are not inlcuded in the PBDs. 

My question is if there is any way to let PBAutobuild the location for the resources or something that can manage to find them.

Thanks.

Hi Gastón ;

  For the App icon in the EXE, I see your problem - you have the PATH hard coded in your Application Painter. To resolve this ...

• Move the .ICO file to the root folder where your WorkSpace object is located.
• Remove all path information to the .ICO in your App painter.

  For the PBR => PBD issue - it sounds like your PBR's might have the same issue (hard coded paths). To resolve this ...

• Make sure that your PBR file(s) do not have hard coded Path pointers to your external objects.

What we want to implement is Option 3 Crhis, resource files included in PBDs.

But this is what I don't really understand. Imagine this situation. If for an app I set the icon with a absolute route I can see the icon on the screen. We have all our resources copied to PB directory.

If I then deploy the app the executable file is created with its corresponding icon.

But, if I specify only the image name, without any route, on the screen I am able to see the image on the UI but then, when I deploy the it, the executable is createed without the icon.

Along the entire code we specify resources without path only the resource name. That causes, as with the icon, that reources are not find nor included in PBRs.

So, the question is, having this configuration where do I have to have the resources in order the deploy to find them?  Is the same for PBAutoBuild?

Hope it's a little bit clear now. Thank you for your help.

Hi Gastón ;

  I am a bit confused by your description as ...

1. PBR's should not be used for the App's icon. It should be embedded in the App's EXE
2. If images are to be used externally, then they should be copied to the same App EXE's deployment folder.
3. If PBR's are including all the images, then the deployment would only be PBD's

Can you give us any further details?

Thanks ... Chris
