Missing vcl50.bpl ??? 2

[Tlogist]

I made a program with C++ Builder5.0 and also used VCL in
it. It works great on the computer I made it, but when
I copy the .exe -file to another computer it gives
me this error : Missing file VCL50.BPL. Why??

You have to change some options to make it run on other computers:

Open your project and goto your Project->Options under the main menu, or press Shift+Ctrl+F11.

Once your options menu is up, goto Packages

Under packages uncheck "Build with runtime packages",
-it's towards the bottom

After that goto Linker, (also under options) and uncheck "Use Dynamic RTL"
-towards the top

Then recompile your program and it will work on other machines without the errors.
I explained it as best I could, if you get problems just tell me.

Thank you! Now it works..

Another question :
How to start my default web browser from my code?
If I for example got an AnsiString url = "

http://www.tek-tips.com"

I think the ShellExecute API will work. For example:

AnsiString URL = "[URL unfurl="true"]www.tek-tips.com";[/URL]
ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, URL.c_str(), NULL, "C:\\TEMP", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

should launch your default browser. Look at thread101-85540 for more info. James P. Cottingham
