Well that was my first post to a newsgroup ever and look how far off my
topic all this has gone.
Anyways back to the original problem.
Install Components which become Uninstalled when I close down my IDE.
The Component I have installed is kbmMemTable_550. I have followed the
suppliers install instructions
built the mem Table .bpl files save all of Delphi's project files. Set the
search paths to my 3rd Party vendor
component library directories. The component icons show up in the component
window but when I try and
open my project it say the " kbmMemD2006Run.bpl" cannot be found. However,
it is in the directory specified
by the search paths.
What is also funny, if I create a brand new project I do not have this
problem. So the conversion of my
Delphi 7 project must retain old component information. I delete every
compiled file except my *.pas & my
*.dfm as I do believe I need the *.dfm files for the form layout.
Another problem I have never encountered with any prior version of Delphi.
Is when I use the Flash filer database
components, if the compiler encountered a problem with the component
(example the flash filer server was not started) it
would set the component to inactive and load the both the *.pas file & the
*.dfm file so I could correct the problem.
This version of Delphi, seams to continually try to connect to the unstarted
server and ties everything up such that you have
to kill the Delphi Process in the case of no server having been started. And
in the case of another random problem encountered
the Design window does not open and you cannot deal with the component's
object inspector.
Now one can take shots at my ignorance on how the developers of BDS2006
choose to create there ide/program.
But from Delphi version 1 to delphi version 7 which is the last version I
upgraded to. I have not had this much difficulty
upgrading a project. Most of the time it has been - upgrade the 3rd party
components, install them, set the lib directorys
open the old project files and get coding. Usually at most a one day affair.
This has been a week, I have followed the help comments, looked for answers
in the help files, newsgroups and to only spin
my wheels and the compiler not being able to see a known file in a specified
directory.
I am to a point where I too would not mind a refund.
Regards
Randy

Unfortunately ( I don't agree with this, but it's the way it works ) you
have to save your changes to your component source in order to save your
installed components.
I know, you didn't change anything, it compiled right away - except that
little project upgrade wizard made an entirely new .bdsproj file, and if
you don't save that new file, your compiled .bpl goes away.
