I have now written my first DLL incorporating some general routines and built it into the project. The project works fine on my PC, but when it is loaded on the clients PC and run, it is giving a message that vcl100.bpl (plus other *.bpl files) is missing. I have unchecked USE DYNAMIC RTL and I have checked DESIGN TIME ONLY PACKAGE in the DLL Project Options. I have also loaded the *.dll file to the clients PC. Is there something I am missing in the Project Options ? Any help appreciated.

Then you likely did not enable the "Use VCL" option when you created the project.

I have noticed in Quality Central in the Linker section under report #: 27638 that the problem is described exactly. Build DLL with "build with runtime packages" unchecked, you will get [Linker fatal error] Unable to open file EXTCTRLS.OBJ. It mentions that this is fixed. How do I obtain the fix ?

Go to http://www.codegear.com/Downloads/RegisteredUsers/CBuilder/tabid/148/Default.aspx and get and install Update 2 (which includes update 1) and then go to the hotfix page and get and install the hotfix rollup and hofixes 11 and 12.

I have now installed Update 2 and the hotfix rollup, but not 11 and 12, neither of which refer to the problem in hand. My DLL project is still giving me the same error. The Quality Central report #27638 says the problem is resolved in build 10.0.2288.42451. How do you relate this build to a hotfix number ?

Michael, The version is in the About box, use Help -> About Borland C++ Builder in BDS. Your current version is in the first block of text. Mine is version 10.0.2558.35231. Version 10.0.2288.42451 was after update 2 if I remember correctly. I don't know of any way to determine which Updates and/or hotfixes have been applied based on the version number.

I have found that DLL projects created before the fixes were applied will not work, even after the fixes are applied. I have now created a new DLL project and copied in the code. The build worked ok. And the project worked on my clients PC, without having to add any *.bpl files. Also you are correct about Version 10.0.2288.42451. qc.borland.com/wc/qcmain indicates that this number is Update 2. Thanks for the help and thanks also to Remy for his usual much appreciated help.
