Program runs in IDE, will not run from a shortcut
I am using C++ Builder XE7 and XE8. Do I need to have LMD Tools installed into 2 separate folders? I assume I do. So currently I have
C:\LMD2015 (for XE7)
C:\LMD2015_XE8 (for XE8)
Everything for XE7 works fine. I have a project I built with XE8 and when I run it from a shortcut I get "lmdrtrtlx220.bpl is missing from your computer". The program runs fine from the IDE. The file is located in c:\lmd2015_xe8\packages. My path does include this folder. If I open a Command prompt, change folder to c:\lmd2015_xe8\packages, then tell it the full path to my .EXE then the executable runs fine.
So a few questions: Is there a way to have the bpl linked into the application? I don't like including external files. I tried everything I could think of in the linking options.
Why can't it find the BPL if it is listed in my path statement?
============================================================================================================
Note: I took my path statement and put it in a .bat file, and then ran the .bat file. My path then showed the c:\lmd2015_xe8\packages. But then I put a different .bat file in that folder and tried to run it from a different folder, and Windows said the file could not be found. So the PATH statement was actually not working as expected. I rebooted, checked the path statement and now it finds those files that are in my path. So it looks like a bug in Windows, probably won't allow a really long path to be set in a batch file or something. I'd still prefer these files to be embedded into the .exe
