And if it is a must, wouldn't there be compatability problems with different update packs etc... I want to make sure that my users can run my app without any problems, so I am thinking that placing the bpl file in my app's folder is the safest way. Does the app search in its own directory for the bpl files first, or the system dir?

I'd copy all bpl's to System32 dir of Windows - If you do not want to copy them to System32 dir, there is no need to use bpl's. In Windows Dir, they could be shared between all app's and you also need to update one bpl if it changes. AFAIK all BPL's of delphi are already in you System32 Dir. regards Back to top Sujit Singhania Guest Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2003 12:17 pm    Post subject: Re: VCLxx.bpl redistribution question The order of searching is: Program EXE Folder Program Startup Folder (Current Directory) Windows System Folder Windows Folder Folders in Path Environment Variable Sujit "Aaron Chan" <aerodynamica (AT) nospam (DOT) idz.net> wrote Quote: Hello all, Is it good enough to put the VCLxx.bpl runtime libraries in my application's folder, or must I place these in the system directory?
