> The path for BPL/DCP is set to '' (empty). BPL are really DLL. You must make sure Delphi can find those DLL. I'm not sure, but probably Delphi search as any other application for his DLL (exefile dir, search path, Windows and system32 directories) and probably also in the locations defined by the registry keys at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\7.0\Library Personnaly, I have "BPL output directory" set by default as "$(DELPHI)\Projects\Bpl" and all my additional packages bpl files are located there. All standard delphi packages are in $(DELPHI)\bin (that is where the exe file is). -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
