U783 Error Revisited

I am wondering if there is any new information on this error. None of
the articles/messages I have seen so far seem to offer any help that
applies to my case. I have a Delphi 7 project using packages where the build
fails aprox every other build. I have to exit the project and open it
again to get it to compile. It is very frustrating. There are about a
dozen different projects in the project group and it will happen to all
of them. If I select to build all projects in the group I am almost
guaranteed that it will stop before finishing with the U783 Internal
error. If I build them one at a time I might make it to the last
project about half the time. it seems to be a bit better if I just
select "Compile" rather then "Build All" but even that will fail way to
often.
I do not get the error when using the command line compiler. Any
suggestions are appreciated.

Even though I don't get an error identifier (U783) like you do, this sounds
like the problem I sometimes have with compiling packages in D6. The linker
sometimes fails when linking in lots of forms with images on them, but only
if the dfm's are stored as text. When I bump into the error I convert a few
more dfm's from text to binary, and it will usually compile fine until
someone adds a new form as text to the package.

Been there. No help there. I have never had the probem when installing
a package, only when compiling a project that uses runtime packages. It
just fails with the U783 error about 50% of the time, when compiling
from the IDE.

Then it must be a size problem, not a format problem. Something like a
limit on the size of the given compile set at a given time. Having a
centralized image container is a good thing, and having the components
use default values is another one.

I'm pretty sure that text dfm's are converted to binary before the actual
linking takes place. Of course, this can be though of as a size problem, as
you said.

This package is very close to being just that.

If your case is slightly different you should leave a comment on that QC
entry stating your case. Maybe this can help the QA people to find it
easier/quicker?

It is definitely something to do with compiling a modular application
using packages in the Delphi 7 IDE and there are quite a few messages already
out there about the problem, but i have not found one yet that offers a
solution. My case is not different enough to warrant a new QC enttry.
Fortunatley I use FinalBuilder so only experience the problem when
building via the Delphi 7 IDE.

I didn't say "create a new QC entry" but rahter: "add some comment about

That report was closed this morning so I opened a new one, but I really
don't expect much results. This problem has been around for years.
