Hi Helen

Thank you for your reply

I tried it again following your advice and it worked ;-) second attempt
anyway.

First time I went through every package and set its output,unit output and
dcp output paths to a subdirectory of the source. I built all the packages
and the bpls appeared in the directory. I put the source path and this bpl
path into the search paths - for some reason D2007 couldnt find the bpls so
could not install anything.

I then removed the output directory paths so used the default (documents and
setting\..\documents\rad studio\5.0\bpl) I then installed each DT package
and all is fine ;-)

Regards
Paul
