Hi Frankie,

You need to use the “Compile Delphi for .NET Project” action for .NET based Delphi projects. Simply point it to your .bdsproj and select the version of the compiler you want to use. There are a whole bunch of other options you can set also, like assembly version, compiler options, etc.

helo .t8! thank you for your quick reply, I have the free version only. I have an error that says “Delphi Compiler location not detected”.

Hi Frankie,

So, you’re using Turbo Delphi.Net 2006 ?

In FinalBuilder, go to Tools | Edit variables and see if there are any variables in the System category that start with DELPHI, eg. DELPHI2006

If these aren’t here, have a look in your registry under HKLM\Software\Borland\BDS\4.0 and look for the string RootDir - what’s the value of it? If these values aren’t in the registry then FinalBuilder can’t detect the location of BDS.

The Free Turbo Editions do not ship with the command line compiler. Which is needed by Final Builder to compile.

Ah, yes - you’re right :slight_smile:

They are available as a separate download for Turbo Delphi.Net Pro and Pro Academic from here:

If you’re not using Pro, then afaik your only option is to manually build your projects via the IDE unfortunately.
