I have yet to find a 'completely default' BCB setup ;)
As soon as you USE BCB, some of the 'default' settings get changed and
unless you keep an eye on things ...

Where has YOUR copy now put the BPL, BPI/LIB and OBJ files. I like to
keep the 'Intermediate Output' away from the source code, so you can
wipe it simply when doing an incremental update. I've had problems in
the past with the Builder linker, but the only good update recently was
to replace that with one that works a little more reliably - still
manage to get crashes though ;)
But this is an area that the 'default' that BCB uses depends on what was
done last.

Anybody seeing that on Delphi - I can't see vcljpg in any of the project
files.

From Salvatore
I have already reported the problem to Jason and an immediate fix that
comes
into my mind (and that I have applied successfully) is to rename the
Zlib.pas file to something else, for example IBO_Zlib.pas and to change the
corresponding declaration in the uses clause of
IB_OleContainer.pas that is the only file to use it and of course the
declaration in the contains section of IBO40VRT_Xx.dpk packages.

It registers all the visual components so it is quite useful - EDT goes
on to add the editors.

Since BCB is no longer supported by Borland, the next fun will be us
non-delphi developers switching the the delphi IDE with a C++ flavour -
if Borland ever actually release it :(
