Hello. I always hated the way Delphi install packages. The settings are spread all over. After I reinstall my OS, I had to reinstall Delphi and all that VCLs I use. I hate this job. I always prefer to use my own code/VCLs then to relay on others. In this way I don't depend on them when I want to upgrade to a new version of Delphi and my code always compile on ALL Delphi versions without modifications.
And because I had problems in the past, now I install every new VCL in its own package which I keep in the same folder with the source code. The path for BPL/DCP is set to '' (empty). -------- That worked until 2-3 months ago. Since then I have problems: when I install a new component every thing seems ok until I restart Delphi. After restart it tells me that it can't find the bpl for the new component. If I go in 'Component -> Install Packages', the component is listed but the check box is unchecked. If I try to check the checkbox it tells me the same thing: 'The application has failed to start because xxx.bpl was not found. Re-installing the application...' Few hours ago I just tried to reinstall Jedi package using their installer. The installation was ok until Delphi restart. Any idea? PS: I have Delphi 7 Update 1. Of course Ive put the path in 'Library path. ...and the traveler died, stroked by the beauty of the landscape.
