Is this something to do with what is held in the .dcr file, how is this file generated. Can rebuild the component in BDS2006 using the component .pas file?

Remove the component from the IDE via Component->Install Packages, then close BDS and delete the .bpl .dcp etc files from the bpl folder, usually My Documents\Borland Studio Projects. Then open BDS, make sure that the C++Builder and Delphi personalities are loaded, re-build the pkg, and install. This should do it.

Did you write a new package for BDS? You can't use the D5 package. Just like with every other version, packages are version-specific, and must be compiled with the IDE that you want to install into. Do you have both personalities loaded at the time of install? You probably did not actually install the package into the C++ personality at all. Generating the files alone is not enough.

Quote: Ok, I created a new .bpl file in BDS2006 and added the D5 .pas file to it. Now all I need is the .dcr file which contains the designtime information. A DCR file does not contain any design-time information. It is nothing more than a resource file that holds images and nothing else. Quote: How do I create this file? With Borland's Image Editor utility that ships with every version of the IDE.

It is not appearinf on the tool palette. I am running all personalities of BDS contiguously.

I am getting in a right mess with this. I am trying to build the ODS ( Orcka ) component suite. I can build the Delphi version in the Delphi personality and it appears on the toolbar in C++ Builder but I dont have .bpi files to add to the "requires" list if I use them in other packages in Builder. I can not build any design time Builder package that includes .pas files because any .pas file whose uses section includes DesignIntf or DesignEditors causes F1026 File not found: 'DesignIntf.dcu'. The .dcu files are in C:\Borland\CBuilder6\Source\Toolsapi in my BCB6 installation, but C:\Borland\BDS4.0\source\ToolsAPI contains only .pas files.

Check the Borland Studio Projects\Bpl dir for the .bpi files.

Add designide.bpi to the Requires section of the package.
