[DUG] [computing] DElphi XE2 suddenly stops working

Fri Jul 26 22:20:26 NZST 2013

Found it...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\9.0\Known Packages

However, it all seems in order. I changed the two main new component sets
(TMSSoftware & DevArt MySQL components) using the underscore as suggested
but it still crashes. Dang, back to drawing board.
