Does anyone have experience of package files becoming corrupted. I installed a component into D3 into the Delphi Users' Components package, which normally works fine, except that Delphi just hung immediately after the installation. The component in question was installed in Delphi when I installed it previously, but last time I reinstalled I hadn't got around to reinstalling it - until now when a project needed it. After some fruitless editing of the DPK to remove the references to the new component, which failed to stop Delphi hanging at startup, I eventually deleted the Registry reference to the package and now everthing is fine. All I have to do is to re-create that package. The question is can the packages get corrupted somehow and is there a simpler way of fixing it? ============================================ Patrick Dunford, Christchurch, NZ EnzedRailWeb Sites http://patrick.dunford.com/enzedrailweb/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
