I needed to reinstall a package, DrRX.bpl. I removed it from the package list, and trying to install a newer version of the same package. I’ve replaced the old component’s dir with the new one.

When I open the new DrRX.bpl and click install, I get the error

“Package C:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\3.0\components\rx work\output\DrRx.bpl cannot be installed because another package with the same basename is already loaded (DrRx.bpl)”

I cannot find any reference to DrRX in my package list, DrRX does not appear in the Tool Palette. How do I locate where Delphi thinks this is installed, and remove it, so I can reinstall the package?

    You probably have an entry for this in your “Known Package” entry in your registry that is, for whatever reason, not working correctly.

    Close RAD Studio.
    Run REGEDIT.EXE and then go to

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\RADStudio\8.0\Known Packages

    And see if there is an entry for DrRX.bpl. If there is, remove it, and try to install again.
