Hello, I receive the following message:
Unknown image file extension (.png) .
Is there any additional adjustment that I need to fix in Inspector?

I also have a problem with this one when I run it.
It compiles without problems.
When the window opens it doesn't show picture for ALL - The World.
If I select a country it shows a warning "Unknown image file extension (.png)"
"First chance exception at $7675A6E2. Exception class EInvalidGraphic with message 'Unknown picture file extension (.png)'. Process (3132)"

And it doesn't show the 3 letters and the Country in the pnlCountryISOCode and pnlCountry.
