The way I see it you could either:   a) Uncheck  “build with runtime packages”- This will include all the packages you need into one fat exe (never bothered me in the past) b) Create a setup file using the handy dandy Installshied program that comes with Delphi c) a & b, makes everything look more professional anyway J   PS: What is Antivurus?   -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Coulter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 5:03 PM To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Modulizing Apps. with Packages Hi all. Yeah I know, its sad to be having a day off, but still thinking about work :-)   Anyway, I have finally got a project where I will or want to use packages to modulize the app. I have already developed the first part based on an article in the Delphi Informant Mag. The only thing I am kinda confused about is, to get the app. that looks for and loads the packages at runtime, I have to set the "Compile with Runtime Support", or whatever its called, switch in the project settings. This means that I need to now supply the 6mb VCL packages and what ever else I use, like ADO, etc. This is not going to be any good for this project as it has to go to over 100 places.   SO, can I do the above slightly differently so I can just distribute the EXE without have to also send out the runtime BPL's too? Or am I better to use some 3rd party plugin tool?   Cheers,   Jeremy Coulter     ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All email scanned with Nortons Antivurus 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
