Hi,
I've just started evaluating FinalBuilder and I'm having difficulty compiling my Delphi 2006 project. I use a lot of Enviroment Variables in my Libarary Path and when I attempt to execute the **_Compile Delphi Win32_** action I receive the message **_Error expanding variables in Library Path_**. This happens for both **_System variables_** and **_User overrides_**.
Error expanding variables in Library Path: Variable: BDSPROJECTDIR - does not exist.
I am missing a setting or something?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
I figured out that you need the set the **_Use BDS 2006 Enviroment Variables at Startup_** option and that solves the problem with all **_User overrides_** being added to the list of available variables. However, other **_Enviroment Variables_** that are under the **_System variables_** , such as BDSPROJECTDIR, are still not available. As a workaround, I add the BDSPROJECTDIR to the **_User overrides_** and it is now available and the **_Library Path_** gets expanded properly.
Thanks,
Scott
