[DUG] Some annoyances with D2006

[John Bird]

I had a similar thing when I added simple packages (FindFile and
JBCLColorButton).....I had some  instructions that gave me the broad
directions, but I ended up with a component project file under

C:\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents\Borland Studio Projects\Bpl

Which is not where I wanted it - I have a component folder.  If anyone has
real clear instructions on installing components with d2005/2006 they would
be appreciated.

John

New computer arrived so decided this was moment to install D2006 and start
porting from D7. Some immediate annoyances. "My Documents" is pointed to a
server disk. (H:\). I note that D2006 creates BDS project directory there
automatically. JCL, JVCL installs seriously want the BPL to install there. I
am slightly leery about bpls on a network drive but okay.

Open an old dpk to start moving other components into D2006. Doing this and
it fails to compile because its trying to store BPL in c:\program
files\Borland\BDS\4.0\Projects\bpl

which doesn't exist. can someone give me some pointers are to where BDS is
getting the directories and what I override to establish some
consistancies??
