<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Joylon,<br>
<br>
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 !!!!<br>
<br>
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..<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<div>It looks like perhaps the IDE is trying to be too clever
and when it doesn't find a current dproj is looking for a
historical bdsproj to upgrade from and not coping when there
isn't one (it being inconceivable that there would be anyone
using an even older version of Delphi that predated the
bdsproj).</div>

<div>To avoid this, instead of deleting the dproj, try adding

<div>With the prior dproj intact, the IDE should identify that
you are upgrading and offer to save the old version with a
different name (or offer to save the new version with a
different name, I forget which way round. Though I have a
niggly feeling that in the past I was frustrated by the fact
that it was the former, which imho is the least useful
approach!)<br>
<br>
<br>
You have versioning/backups though, so it shouldn't matter
which particular named variety of these files the IDE chooses
to mess with. Once you have an upgraded package/project, you
"Save As" to get a file correctly named for new version you
need, and then restore your previous versions from source
control/backups. Right ? :)</div>
