I&nbsp; upgrade to FinalBuilder 6 and imported a FinalBuilder 5 project.&nbsp; Immediately when I execute the "Compile Delphi Win32 Project" Action, I receive the following message

Error creating cfg file.

--\> Error expanding variables in LIbrary Path: Variable: BDSPROJECTDIR - does not exist!

This project works without any isssues in FinalBuilder 5.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Scott   
  
 I don’t have that variable here, but I’m going to guess that it’s a Delphi environment variable? If thats the case, open the options dialog, switch to the Compilers/Borland Delphi page and turn on “Use BDS 2007 Environment Variables at startup” and then click ok and restart FinalBuilder.

Hi Vincent,

Thanks, that solved my problem.&nbsp; I'm not sure what I was thinking but I should have caught that.&nbsp; I think I assumed that all the setting would automatically be applied to FB6 from my FB5 configuration (some where such as the source control configuration).&nbsp; Anyway, as soon as you mentioned that I remembered having that same problem when I originally installed and configured FB5.&nbsp; Anyway, I appreciate your help and the solution to my problem.

Thanks,

Scott
