Upgrading Application-Delphi6 to Delphi7--HELP

I am working on upgrading code for a Delphi6 app to Delphi7 app. Everything works fine except that once I run the app it says:

"The application has failed to start because rtl60.bpl was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

I have tried everything, such as:

1. Making sure that all the bpls are compiled without any run time packages.
2. Delphi search path is correct.
3. Enviornment variables are correct.
4. Deleted all the dcu and dcp files from old code and rebuild all the projects.
5. I even tried commenting all the rtl in the require clause of all the packages.

I AM STILL GETTING THE ERROR. PLEASE HELP..

and oh the application heavily relies on packages.

Thanks in advance,

Are any of the packages that are used compiled in Delphi 6? If so, I don't think Delphi 7 can use them until they've been compiled in Delphi 7. If you are compiling the packages yourself, search through the .dpk files and look for rtl60.bpl. When you find it, replace it with the equivalent package in Delphi 7 - probably rtl70.bpl.

Thanks for your response. I already did that. All the packages were build in Delphi6 and I build them in Delphi 7 before running the application.
