Hello!
I have a problem when deploying my application after making it in BCB.(Its my first time to deploy a program)
I am using InstallShield to create an installation program. I am then installing the application in another machine. The problem is that I get very many errors about missing packages, libraries and so on. 
Would anyone please tell me how to go about deploying my application.
Regards
pk

Go back to InstallShield and add all the missing libraries/packages, then
rebuild the setup.

The alternative - which is preferable in most cases - is to build a 
'monolithic' executable.

From the BCB project options, make sure : "Linker/Use Dynamic RTL" and 
"Build with Runtime Packages" are both DISABLED.

Rebuild your project. The EXE file will increase in size by around a 
megabyte or more, BUT the exe now contains all you need to run the 
application. Your installshield build will be smaller than if you add the 
missing libraries/packages - or alternatively, in many cases you can just 
give people the EXE without the need for an installer at all.
