Description

Hi

When converting my pygame zero game to a EXE file for windows using Auto Py to Exe https://pypi.org/project/auto-py-to-exe/
I get the following error trying to run my EXE (I don't have this error when converting a pygame game (not using pygame zero) to EXE using exactly the same way):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tigerheli.py", line 2, in
File "", line 1027, in _find_and_load
File "", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked
File "", line 688, in _load_unlocked

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\GEBRUI~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\_MEI183602\\pgzero\\data\\icon.png'

What to do to solve this?
I don't know what the file icon.png is and I also don't use this in my code.

Attached is the source of my game and all needed images/sounds

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows executable failure with the attached tigerheli.zip using Auto Py to Exe, then inspect pgzero/game.py and the traceback’s reference to pgzero/data/icon.png. Done means the packaged executable launches without the FileNotFoundError while preserving the default icon behavior.
