I am getting the following FB exception when trying to compile a Delphi 2007 app:
> Generating Resource File....
> Including ICON File :e:\TRAK\mainicon.ico
> Running Borland Resource compiler....

What I don't understand is there is no 'Delphi' variable in my LIbrary path. Here is my path:

I tried to attach the log file but the system says the file type is not allowed.
What should I be looking for?

I got it working by adding a 'Delphi' user variable and setting it to the same value as the BDS variable. This seems to be a bug in BDS--does anyone know if it's fixed in D2009?
