Hello there.

I've encountered the following problem during the attempt to localize 
our project:

Ressource DLL Wizard fails on libraries which include *.dfm files. It 
complains that it can't find "..\lib\Wizard.lib" even if the output path 
of that project was set to something else.

I've also tried to add all those *.dfm files to the main project which 
failed as well. In this case the error message is about the same: Can't 
find "..\bin\Application.exe"

And then there is something else that p***** me off. The VCL framework 
requires even a datamodule to be translated, which language independent. 
The framework is expecting it to be in the resource file as well.

Any ideas, hints, solutions?

Thanks...
//David

I've found a workaround:

- The "Resource DLL Wizard" can't handle relative paths. Set the 
output-folder of the project which shall be translated to an 
non-relative path and it works.

However I noticed that those resource dlls seems to be fragile. If a 
resource if missing one of the following might happen at runtime:
- AV
- Exception during the creation of a form
- wrong or blank text
