@ericbarte The icon is stored in the form
.Icon = lcCurdir + 'd:\Path\my.ico'
Obviously this will fail.

I fear it will not help you, but FoxBin2Prg is not designed to operate this way. It's clearly set up to deal with the classical mode where all the sources are in the directory or subdirectories of the place where the pjx is stored.
Since the project is made to deal with source control, it's impossible to tell where (on which drive) a project will be recreated. The use of drive letters makes no sense under this circumstance. And, from a source control POV, I have no idea how to include such a file into a source control at all.
I agree that it should not fail and possibly deny to create the text file in the first place, but your problem is true to any file stored in the PJX, not only the icon of the project.

To fix your problem, I suggest that you open the pj2 with an editor of your choice, look up the icon and remove the whole line. You can try to remove the lcCurdir + part and look if it recreates the pjx.
If you really need this function I suggest to fork the project.

NOTE: If you choose to have binary tables outside the path given by your project, the result of FoxBin2PRG might be unexpected, since the config files are valid for there folder and subfolders, not for a project.
