Unable to open file 'VCLE50.LIB'

Greetings,

I just updated my C++builder 5 with builder 6.0. When I try to
 compile my existing projects, I keep on getting the error:

[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'VCLE50.LIB'

Any hints?

Thanks,

S.

I think that happens when you upgrade a project from one
compiler version to the next.

Try this:
With the IDE not running, open the project file, the *.bpr file, in
an editor and remove the 50 from all occurances of the name.

I check the bpr file and there is no *50.lib entries.

I don't know where the compiler is getting this instruction to include the VCLE50.LIB since it is NOT in the bpr file.

That implies the library is specified somewhere else.

Unlikely, but easy and quick to check is in the source
code and heade files.  Check if there is a USELIB macro
or a #pragma link specifying it.

More likely is that a library which uses the VCL but which
was built with version 5 calls for VCLE50.LIB

And least likely is the DFM file because I've no idea why it
should be in there, but humor me and run this command
while at the project directory

  grep -id "vcle50" *.dfm
