I've tried with a diffrent VCL. I left all the setting as the owner of that VCL put them: The 'Usage' is set to 'Design and runtime', and the 'Explicit rebuild' is cheched. I've set the BPL/DCP path to the folder where the package is installed: D:\Borland\Delphi\Packages\CoolTrayIcon
Anyway, I think I will reinstall Delphi and let the setting as default. --- Robert Meek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are you sure you don't have your options set to use runtime > packages? > > from Robert Meek dba Tangentals Design > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Human > Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2005 6:41 PM > To: Delphi-Talk Discussion List > Subject: Re: Strange situation when installing new VCLs > > It is strange because it works after I compile and install the package using > the *.dpk file. > Only after Delphi restart, it loose the BPL. > I've looked in the registry and the path is ok. > > After the restart it (Delphi) automatically put my new package in 'Disabled > Packages'. > I keep all my packages in D:\Borland\Packages\.
