[DUG] Can't Load Package

[Rohit Gupta]

Steve,

I tear my hair out with every new version of Delphi as by that time I 
have forgotten the fix for this.  While its fresh in my brain from this 
time around..


When it says that it cant package x in dir y, it is lying.

1.  What it usually means is that it cant find what package x depends on 
in dir y.  What that is you have to figure out.  This happens in my case 
where most of teh design time packages are dependent on the runtime 
packages.  The rutimers need to be in system32

2.  Sometimes it means that it cant find package x is the path 
variable.  Fix again is to copy them to system32.

Arrghhh..  This time around with D2007, to avoid this problem, I 
installed ALL packages in the same short directory C:\pack11.  So I know 
that they are all there, all the dcps and bpls.  Yet, as pointed out 
above, some have to be in system32.  Then it still wants access to the 
ruddy flaming dcu files and I have to give the path to each package's 
source directory in the project options, for all 40+ projects..  Whats 
the point of the package if it wants the dcus ?
