Hello,

I have big problems installing c++ builder 5 vcl's into c++ builder 6.
What are the steps to convert a c++ builder 5 vcl into a c++ builder 6
version.

Why would you want to do that? Or do you mean a VCL component that was
written for BCB5?

In that case, there have been a few changes to Dsgnintf, DesignIDE etc.

This article for Delphi describes most of it:

But there is something you must set in the package project file too,
IIRC.

In the options source find the PFLAGS line an add -LUdesignide.

to sustain them.  Humoring them costs nothing and adds to happiness in
a world in which happiness is in short supply.   (RAH)

Well I want to upgrade to BCB6 but want to use the old VCL's I have
been using in bcb 5. The most of these components are not (yet)
converted to BCB6. I don't want to wait for updates of all the
different VCL makers.

Do you have the original source code for the components?  If not, then
you're out of luck, the compiled binaries are version-specific.

Only if you have the original source code can you then try putting them into
new packages generated by BCB6 and re-building them.
