You should upgrade your C++ Builder 6 to C++ Builder XE.
Actually I have currently on my system c++ builder 6 + ICS ver 5 . also
having many license of third party component for c++ buider6. Also My lot
of
project working on that . If I change the version of c++ builder 6 then
lot
of problem occurs in compiling and linking , upgrading the components . So
I
want to stick with that version . Thats why I need c++builder 6 + ICS ver
6
I understand. This is a classical situation. One in which no one should ever
fall into...
This is not sustainable on the long term. The more you wait to upgrade the
more difficult it will be to upgrade. And one day, nothing will work
anymore.
when using third party components, you should only use/buy components with
full source code and make sure you are able to rebuild the component (never
use the prebuilt version, always rebuild everything yourself). This way,
you'll be able to move forward as new compiler versions are out, even if the
component editor stop making the components you are using.
Upgrading component from one compiler version to the next is usually very
easy. The more versions you skip, the more difficult it is to port the code
to newer version. Here you have 10 years (or so, I don't remember when BCB6
was released) behind you. It will require some work to upgrade but in my
opinion you MUST do it, or plan to retire soon...
