Resource '/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/HelpIcon.png' was not found.

When using 2012.2 725 .NET 4 NoXaml binaries and Implicit themes, Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView.xaml throws these two errors:

Resource '/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/HelpIcon.png' was not found. Line: 2202.
Resource '/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/RibbonGalleryCollapsedIcon.png' was not found.  Line: 2800.

Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI.xaml also throws errors regarding these two files:

Resource '/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/HelpIcon.png' was not found. Line: 5499.
Resource '/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/RibbonGalleryCollapsedIcon.png' was not found. Line: 6097 


Here is my RibbonView XAML:

    <Grid>
        <tr:RadRibbonView MinimizeButtonVisibility="Visible" HelpButtonVisibility="Visible" TitleBarVisibility="Collapsed" 
            ApplicationButtonContent="File" HelpButtonImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Img/Ribbon/Help16.png">
            <tr:RadRibbonView.QuickAccessToolBar>
                <tr:QuickAccessToolBar/>
            </tr:RadRibbonView.QuickAccessToolBar>
            <tr:RadRibbonTab Header="Home">
                <tr:RadRibbonGroup Header="Clipboard">
                    <tr:RadRibbonSplitButton Text="Paste" LargeImage="pack://application:,,,/Img/Ribbon/Img32.png" Size="Large"
                    tr:ScreenTip.Title="Paste(Ctrl+V)"
                    tr:ScreenTip.Description="Paste the contents the Clipboard.">
                        <tr:RadRibbonSplitButton.DropDownContent>
                            <t:RadContextMenu BorderThickness="0">
                                <t:RadMenuItem Header="Paste" />
                                <t:RadMenuItem Header="Paste Form" />
                            </t:RadContextMenu>
                        </tr:RadRibbonSplitButton.DropDownContent>
                    </tr:RadRibbonSplitButton>
                </tr:RadRibbonGroup>
            </tr:RadRibbonTab>
            <tr:RadRibbonTab Header="View" />
        </tr:RadRibbonView>
    </Grid>

App.xaml:

    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Themes/OfficeBlue/System.Windows.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Themes/OfficeBlue/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Chart.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Themes/OfficeBlue/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.xaml"/>

                <ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/Themes/OfficeBlue/Telerik.Windows.Documents.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary>
                    <vm:ViewModelLocator x:Key="Locator" />
                </ResourceDictionary>
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>

What is the root cause of this problem and how do I resolve the problem?

Note: When I remove the HelpButtonImageSource attribute the error is still there, I just used it because I do not like the default icon which is apparently embedded into the assembly.

Note: I opened Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView.dll in Just Decompile and verified that these two images are embedded and I was able to save both to disk...

Hello Dean,

I am  not sure what is causing the issue as I wasn't able to reproduce it locally. However, if you can modify the attached solution to demonstrate the errors, we will be able to further investigate the case and look for solutions.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Derek,

As we weren't able to reproduce the issue locally and we didn't receive any further reports for it, we're still not sure what might have caused it. However, if you can reproduce it in a sample solution using our latest assemblies, please send it over so that we can investigate the case.

Thank you in advance. 

Kind regards,

Also receiving the same errors ... Was there any resolution yet or I assume you are still waiting for a sample project?

Here is the error I am receiving:

Hello Alon,

Unfortunately we're still unable to reproduce the issue on our side and this is why we still can't tell what might be causing it. However, if you can create a ticket and attach a solution where we can test the issue, that would greatly help us.

Hi Telerik Support,
I could reproduce this problem right after downloading your sample project WpfApplication2.zip. I'm using VS2010. After opening MainWindow.xaml and cliking any UI element inside desinger view, I have the same message from Visual Studio.
"InvalidOperationException was thrown on "Setter": Resource '/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RibbonView;component/HelpIcon.png' was not found."
Actually I have the same issue with the 2012 Q3 version, 2012.3.1017.40. Could you find any solution?

Hello guys,

I manage to reproduce the issue and I logged it in our PITS, where you can track its progress.

However these errors, the solution can be run and the help icon is visible.
