trayIcon->setIcon(QIcon(QDir::currentPath() + "/favicon.ico"));

does somebody know this problem? / how to solve it? THNX!!!

Answer 1

Are you sure you have deployed the favicon.ico to the other computers? I recommend that you put the favicon.ico file to the resource file. More information about Qt resource system.

If you want to keep the icon as a separate file, you could try to change QDir::currentPath() to QApplication::applicationDirPath(). The current path might not be the application path in those other computers.
