What files must I add while building the installation file in Rad Studio using Advanced installer? When I chose the project file, I launched the file created with Advanced Installer, but it says that:

file_name.bpl missing

What should I do ?

CodePudding user response：

If you don't build with runtime packages (Project->Options->Packages->Runtime packages->Link with runtime packages is False), then you only have to distribute your application executable (.exe).

If you build with runtime packages (Project->Options->Packages->Runtime packages->Link with runtime packages is True), you have to include those packages when you distribute your application executable (.exe). This requires at a minimum that you include the VCL and RTL packages (vclXXX.bpl and rtlXXX.bpl, where XXX depends on the specific version of RAD Studio that you're using).

Depending on what your application does, you may also have to include other runtime packages in your installer. You can find the list of packages that your application needs by looking at the runtime package list in Project->Options->Packages->Runtime Packages->Runtime packages (click the ... button to open the dialog).

For more information, see the RAD Studio documentation topic Deciding Which Runtime Packages to Use.
