Buttons are missing from my delphi application after setup at client site

Hi

I have a delphi application which has a tool bar of buttons on the top of main screen. I recently changed the images of all those buttons and built a new setup for my client. Strangely...after setup application is showing all the buttons in the tool bar at my machine but in my clients machine some of the buttons are not visible.

Any idea what could be the problem?

At design time i am a loading the image in glyph property. I am using BitBtn on a panel.
please check that image exists with apllication(Check it with any resource explorer)
 
sometimes, like when you are using TActions, the button gets a "caption" which means you can't see the image. Make sure the button's caption is blank at runtime
e.g.
bitbtn1.caption := '';
But the stange thing is, with the same setup i have installed this application in two of my machines and it worked absolutly fine.

What could be the issue on clients machine?
Themes? large fonts?
I am just attaching the exe of the program...do i need to package any other file with my application..like resourse file or something....
i am using delphi 6
what about the installation paths of client's computer and your computer?
path is same..both places it is installed in c drive...

I could replicate the issue in one of my computer...where as in other two computer the setup is working fine....

the only difference in the third computer is that it does not have delphi installed in it...or any of my project files...and the setup here is not showing some icons on screen.,,even not behaving right on menu clicks....

in other two computers i have sourcecode in one of the drives and both machines have delphi installed in it...and the setup works fine there...

any idea what i could include in my setup which could solve the issue?

Probably is a missing resource file of sorts.

This will show you exactly what resources your exe is using
