Re:I am a moron, Delphi works fine


Thanks for posting your results - but I disagree with your conclusion that
you are a moron ).  This sort of thing happens.

This all goes back to every problem that occurs on a computer - invariably,
any problem with a PC is by nature something small and stupid - but
unfortunately there are about six billion possible small and stupid things
to choose from.  Finding which one it is, is generally the hard part.

   I've seen RLINK32 errors before, and it seems that I was always able to
get rid of them by deleting all RSM, RES and DCU files. I don't know how
those files get corrupted, by I suspect it has something to do with the
streaming process getting interrupted somehow.

Re:I am a moron, Delphi works fine


I have 650 MB of files copied from a CD from a PC on the network,
those files is our software project.
I start to suspect that the culprit lies there. I had to replace 1 RES file
and everything went OK.
The strange thing is that that same RES file works fine on another D6
install.
I seem to get the weirrdest errors.
And not just in D6. I know that a lot of errors I find are real errors.
We had 7 people test for 2 times 2 weeks, 100 mandays of testing.
I found approx. 20 bugs within 2 hours afterwards, none of them found by
those guys.
And I mean AV's, division by zero's etc.
Just, the customer would probably never see them.
It's just me, I seem to do strange things...

   I still think you ought to do a full diagnosis on your hard drive and
controller.

Depends where you are -- down in the Serengeti it would be wiser to look for
zebras!
