Stack trace: System.IO.FileNotFoundException (Could not load file or assembly 'IniFile, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

According to automated error reports, it appears that Embroidery Reader tries to run from C:\Windows\Installer{GUID}\embroideryReader.exe instead of the correct program files location. Currently the only OS that this seems to happen on is Windows 8.
From investigating other folders under C:\Windows\Installer, it appears that it keeps a copy of any icon files in this folder.
Possible change to help avoid this issue in the future: change Wix installer to use a .ico file for the icon instead of the .exe.
