Hi,
was built with BCB5. That lib or obj has a pragma
link of vcle50 in it. "Build All" will not help with
#pragma linked files. You will have to find the obj's
and/or libs that you want rebuilt and make sure they
get rebuilt with BDS2006, i.e. delete them and build
the project(s) they are in.

Hello Craig,
And because I have installed all components in BDS2006 there should be of course
no vcle50-reference.
Be as it be, the main problem is the USELESS error message. The Linker should
clearly indicate which file causes the error. WHY IS THAT NOT POSSIBLE?
Thanks
Udo
 

You should be able to find out which cones are dependent on vcle50 with
something like this. I've written it as if it is to work with *.bpl files.
Open a command window and change directory to where the components are.
Type in the commands below. Note that the symbol ^Z means hold down the
control key while pressing the letter Z.
------------------
copy con 1.cmd
tdump -s %1>%1.dmp^Z
for %a in (*.bpl) do call 1 %1
grep -li "vcle50" *.dmp
------------------
This should list all the files that have it with ".dmp" appended to the file
name. You can also look at *.dmp files in an editor to verify what you
found.
This creates a *.dmp file for each file searched. You can delete the *.dmp
files and the 1.cmd file afterwards.
