This is a really weird bug and I'm just wondering if anyone has seen anything like it. We recently added a new bitmap resource to an application (via $R directive) which caused the application's main icon to disappear. There's still an icon in the exe, it's just a white square. Weird. As far as I can tell, the bitmap we added is no different from any of the several other bitmaps in our app.
The machine performing the build has EurekaLog 4.6.7, but I noticed that when I compiled the same app on my development machine, the proper icon was included. After much investigation, I discovered that I had a different version of EurekaLog on my machine: 4.6.1. When I downgraded the build machine to 4.6.1, the icon came back!
My boss just bought EurekaLog 6.0.8 and it has the same problem.
We're running Delphi 7 without the update pack.
I can work around this problem by removing this bitmap from the app (it's not really needed in this app) but I'd really like to get to the bottom of this defect because it makes me nervous.
