Delphi XE not finding a BPL

Question

I'm having trouble in Delphi XE, I have a project which uses QRDesign (part of QuickReports).

The error I'm getting when I view a unit that uses QRDesign is:

"The program can't start because QRDBASE_DXE.bpl is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

If I don't open the unit everything compiles fine.

Interestingly if I uninstall this and another package (dclqrd_DXE.bpl - also part of QRDesign), restart the IDE, recompile and reinstall these packages it all works again until I restart the IDE. The BPLs are in the search path, and only one copy of each file exists.

Does anyone know of some mechanism that might be causing this issue?

Answer 1

Search for the file and move it to the Delphi's BPL directory. It looks like a misconfiguration.

You may need to move a few BPLs too. Note the directories first.
