C# – resources.GetObject(“$this.Icon”) crashes application on Windows XP

I've made this program which works fine in Windows 7, but it doesn't seem to work in Windows XP, as it crashed right away with a 'Program has closed bla bla send error report' message from Windows.
After some googling I found a solution to get myself an exceptionlog in the Event Log.
This is the result:

Edit: new exception log (with unhandled exception filter)

I've found the place where it crashed:

this.Controls.Add(this.statusStrip1);
this.Controls.Add(this.menuStrip1);
this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon"))); // Here
this.MainMenuStrip = this.menuStrip1;
this.MinimumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(726, 220);

Does anyone have an idea why this happens?

Thanks in advance
