Missing dclusr50.bpl

Well, I installed a tested and working component to Delphi "samples" using
Component|Install Component, and something fouled.
"[Fatal Error] Could not create output file 'c:\program
files\borland\delphi5\Projects\Bpl\dclusr50.bpl'."

I re-installed all the dclusr50.* files from Borland 5.0 disk (Run Image),
and updated with Update 1. Still no "BPL" folder nor any "dclusr50.bpl"
file.

So what does the err mean? How to fix? --

It means at least one of the following is true:
1 The path c:\program files\borland\delphi5\Projects\Bpl does not exist
2 The file c:\program files\borland\delphi5\Projects\Bpl\dclusr50.bpl is
read-only (and thus the compiler cannot replace it with the new object
code).

In your case, given the information above, I'd suspect the former.

HTH,

Re:Missing dclusr50.bpl

Thank you, Esther.
Item 1 and 2 are both true bec. ..delphi5\Project\BPL does not exist and
dclusr50.bpl does not exist. I created .delphi5\Project\BPL, and retried.;
same result. I think dclusr50.bpl is created by the compile (like a ddl),
but the
compile fails, although dclusr50.dpk does exist. other .BPL's exist in
\Bin. So maybe I messed up a path name??

I gave up patching and just reinstalled Delphi 5.0 compiler, and Update 1,
and used Component|Install Component into existing pkg, |Compile, and it
created the .bpl, and all is right with the Delphi world. Still don't know
what I did to foul it, but it seems happy now. All the following were
created:
Delphi5\Projects\Bpl\dclusr50.bpl ,
Delphi5\Projects\Bpl\dclusr50.dcp , and
Delphi5\Lib\dclusr50.dcu

"Ours is not to reason why, ours is to do or die." or something like that.

Bye
