No it is not using any runtime packages, and it is failing on me by just
including the .RES file nothing else.
I have re-created the .RES file from scratch and the problem has gone away.
So what is wrong with the original .RES file?
How can one determine the fault? I know it is the .RES file, but why?
This problem first showed itself about 2 years ago, and I only just found
out why, so I would like to know why!
I have deleted all the entries from the BAD .RES file, so there are no
bitmaps or icons or anything when I load it up but it still causes the
problem when that particular res file is used in a project.

Chris,
Are you using packages in your EXE? More specifically, is your form in a
package? If it is, chances are that it will pick up the default Delphi
icon, stored in one of the referenced packages.
Regards,
Dennis.
