required file missing designide.bpl

My program is complaining when I distribute it that it neds the
designide.bpl.  Problem is this package is not listed in the redistributal
files by borland, how do I fix this??

Re:required file missing designide.bpl


Your project is not set up correctly to begin with if it is requiring that
file at runtime.  That is a design-time only file.  You should not be
putting design-time code into your project at all, and in fact Borland
strictly forbids it now.  The design-time files are not redistributable.

Remy,

Thank you for your reply - I understand this.  My problem is what options in
the IDE activate this file so I may turn it off or is there something else I
should be looking for?

Re:required file missing designide.bpl


I found a document in Borland Cmmunity that regards this under Delphi,
unfortunately I do not understand Delphi well enough to make heads or tails
out of this document and convert its information to CBuilder.

The document is titled "What ever happened to Proxies.pas?" by Jeff Overcash
(also of TeamB)

Re:required file missing designide.bpl


For further reference, when referring to published articles, please always
include either the ID number or the URL to the actual article.

As for the details of article itself, they only apply to component writers,
not component users.  Unless the actual cause of the problem is related to
one of your own custom components (assuming you write your own) or is
related to a third-party component package that you have the compilable
source code to, then that article is of little use to you as an end user.
You could forward it to the author of the component package (if you can
figure out which one is causing the problem), at least, and then ask for a
new version of the package (if one is not already available).

Re:required file missing designide.bpl


Nope - I just use components at this time, I do not want to write just
now... I gues this will require on of those "support calls" to Borland.
Thanks.

Re:required file missing designide.bpl


You didn't listen to what I said.  It's not a problem with Borland's native
components.  The packages are properly segregated into separate run-time and
design-time packages.  If you're using your own custom components then the
problem is most likely related with a *third-party* component that you are
using, if youare using any.  A lot of third-party component developers still
don't properly separate their run-time code from their design-time code.

Re:required file missing designide.bpl


Sorry,

Apparently I did not understand you, please forgive me for not thinking
straight.  The components I am using are those that were initially included
with C Builder 6 (including the BDE database functions) and Indy9 (SNTP
functions) and TurboPower's AsynchPro 4 (Serial data and Tapi Port
functions) and OnGuard products (OnGuard is not even being used yet in this
project although a serial # component is place on my main form.)

Re:required file missing designide.bpl


All of those are third-party suites, not Borland's native ones.  Any one of
them could be the couse, or it could be something completely diffferent.  I
can't speak for TurboPower or OnGuard, as I have never used either one
myself, but I do know that the version of Indy that comes with Builder 6 is
quite outdated.  I don't remember whether it properly separates the code or
not.  Either way, you should upgrade it to the latest version from
http://www.nevrona.com/indy anyway just for the bug fixes and such.

Remy,

Thanks.

P.S. I am using Indy9
