Joylon,
this sounds like an excellent idea (as long as the ifdefs work in an
include file and the IDE does not keep removing the $I directive.) I
shall try it as soon as I mend the stupid thing again.
I can no longer start XE6 because it says that rtl200.bpl is missing.
Well I cant find any 200.bpls at all !!!

be a recipe for headaches.
Have you considered using include files to achieve the sharing of the
"meat" of your dpk, whilst allowing the IDE to maintain "different"
versions for each IDE in the dpk files themselves (with attendant
dproj etc) ?
package MyPackage2007;
{$i mypackage.inc}
end.
package MyPackageXE6;
{$i mypackage.inc}
end.
The downside is that you lose some of the IDE support for working with
the content of your DPK/DPR, but if you are dependent on $ifdef's in
this area then you no doubt already find yourself having to steer well
clear of such IDE support anyway, since it has as tendency to clobber
such things (and if that's the case, it's worth nothing that the
contents of your include file(s) will be conveniently safe from any
inadvertent meddling by the IDE!).

Hi Joylon,
Its sorted now. It just does not like the old dproj file, it
doesn't like a cut down edited version, it doesnt like a blank one
and it doesnt like a missing one !!!!
I made a new dpk project and saved it and then copied everything
from the old dpk and it works. It seems like it wants some new
xml lines in it or ELSE..
The issue here is that we have to work concurrently on 2007 and
XE6 versions with the same source (and a few ifdefs). So the last
thing I want is the various clauses - includes, requires, uses to
be in a different order. When its 50 to 100 of them, it makes a
huge difference to source comparison.

It looks like perhaps the IDE is trying to be too clever and when
it doesn't find a current dproj is looking for a historical
bdsproj to upgrade from and not coping when there isn't one (it
being inconceivable that there would be anyone using an even
older version of Delphi that predated the bdsproj).
To avoid this, instead of deleting the dproj, try adding the
packages with the current dproj.
With the prior dproj intact, the IDE should identify that you are
upgrading and offer to save the old version with a different name
(or offer to save the new version with a different name, I forget
which way round. Though I have a niggly feeling that in the past
I was frustrated by the fact that it was the former, which imho
is the least useful approach!)
You have versioning/backups though, so it shouldn't matter which
particular named variety of these files the IDE chooses to mess
with. Once you have an upgraded package/project, you "Save As"
to get a file correctly named for new version you need, and then
restore your previous versions from source control/backups.
Right ? :)

I am trying to migrate a group of projects (packages) from
2007 to
XE6. I deleted the dcus, drc and dproj files.
Even when I start from a blank project group and add the existing
project in I get
"Unable to load project *****.bdsproj
Of course it doesnt exist, only the dpk does. A dump of
error details
follows. Incidentally I had the same issue last time
migrating another
group to XE5. That I had to recreate brand new dpk file....
and the
stupid thing was identical to the original one...
Any clues anyone ?
