Delphi 2007 Install problem, crashes Delphi

[Jeff]

Hello -
I have installed Trichview and trichviewactions for D2007 and added the source directories to the Library Path and the Browsing Path.
Then when loading Delphi I receive the error message "can't load package RVPkgD2007.bpl", complaining that it can't find the path.
Also, when I try to examine the list of existing packages (Component..Install Packages", the list of packages is empty, so Delphi is now unusable and I would need to re-install everything. Would anyone know what could be happening? Thanks Jeff

(AFAIK, if Delphi 2007 has problem loading some package, the dialog of installed packages is empty, but all other packages are installed nevertheless, and they can be used).

BPL files must be located in directories listed in the PATH environment variable. But default, Delphi installer adds the path to BPL files in PATH, so this problem must not occur. If the directory where Delphi creates BPL files is not in PATH, Delphi will have problems loading any thirdparty package.

Solution:
1) Find the directory where RVPkgD2007.bpl is located.
2) Make sure that this directory is in PATH.
In WinXP, right click "My Computer", tab Advanced, button Environment variables, look for the PATH variable (when changing variables, RAD Studio must be closed)
