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.
