Hi,

I am a less of a newbie and more of a hobby programmer for the last 25yrs.

I have recently reloaded Delphi5 and Zeos 6.1.5 to update a program I wrote years ago.
When I try and run the updated program on another PC I get a message saying it needs vcl50.bpl.

How do I build the program so that the .bpl's are not required?
I tried unchecking the 'Build with Runtime Packages' option in Delphi options but the program would not build saying it could not find Zabstactdataset.dcu ect....

Regards

CG.

I think you can look into Delphi's bin folder (%programfiles%\borland\delphi?\bin) for that bpl, also you may need some other bpl too. Copy them to the same folder of your app. Try to run your app, if anything else is needed, you'll get an error dialog telling you what's missing.

project->options->Packages
set to OFF "Build with runtime...."
that is all.

Oh, anything else: rebuild project.
