Will any registry or directory entries etc. be left around after removing the BCB 5 compiler that would need to be cleaned up manually?

BCB6 and BDS do on my machine. The one point to focus on would be the Windows PATH if, and only if, you use packages/dll's of the same name in both IDEs. i.e. Either IDE will load the first SomeDll.dll and/or SomePack.bpl found on the PATH. That is why using suffix's like MyPack100.bpl is a good idea. If the BDS IDE finds and loads a SomePack.dll that was built with a different version the error is odd, making it sound the rtl100.bpl itself is at fault.

The uninstall will leave any "user" file under the CBuilder directory. This is any file created, patched, or touched post-install. --Craig Back to top Craig Farrell Guest Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2007 6:41 am    Post subject: Re: Upgrading from BCB 5 to BDS 2006 Quote: They should coexist just fine. BCB6 and BDS do on my machine. I'd add another point: intermediates should be deleted. Do not depend on "Build All". For example, you could have a #pragma link of an .obj or .lib. Make or build know nothing about #pragma linked files. Also, it could be possible your projects reference old paths so e.g. it could be using VCL50.csm from BCB5's LIB directory. Even so, if you deleted all .obj, .il?, .#??, .csm, .tds, then the new build in BDS should work just fine. --Craig Back to top Craig Farrell Guest Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2007 7:35 am    Post subject: Re: Upgrading from BCB 5 to BDS 2006 Quote: I'd add another point: intermediates should be deleted. One more point STL STL has changed quite a bit and I think the errors seen when mixing and mismatching STL's are not very helpful. If you use STL I suggest creating a new project that similarly uses STL and note the changes in paths and defines, e.g. there was a _USE_OLD_RW_STL define I think in BCB5 which I don't think is possible in BDS. --Craig Back to top Larry Griffiths Guest Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2007 8:03 pm    Post subject: Re: Upgrading from BCB 5 to BDS 2006 Hi Craig, When I removed BCB 5, BDS2006 asked for the install CDRoms again. I guess the Uninstall of BCB 5 must have removed stuff that both BCB5 and BDS2006 used.
