Hi,

Using Delphi 2006 (Win32), I suddenly started to be asked a strange question 
when I select to create a new project (package, VCL form, etc.)

Before the project is created, a dialog box appears with the title 'Set Root 
Directory'.
The message is: 'Unable to find Resource Only DLL projects. Please, enter 
the correct root directory for the parent project'.

There is also a path displayed where default projects are saved and another 
Edit control where I'm supposed to put the requested path.

The bothering things are:
(a) there is no help button in this dialog and the above texts do not tell 
anything useful to identify the cause of the problem.
(b) If I enter a valid path (as I understand is requested) and click OK, the 
form re-appear again and agin. So the OK button is useless.
(c) If I click Cancel, everything seems to work OK from then on.

So, it's not a show-stopper but it annoys me greatly. I only saw 4-5 
references on the net to the same thing, one at least in Delphi 5. I'm not 
even sure it's not one of the experts I installed (GExpert, Castalia, MMX 
Code Explorer).

Anybody saw that before and solved the annoying dialog?

Thanks,
David. 

Craig,

Thanks a lot, the first suggestion worked. I'm new to Delphi 2006, just 
installed it and trying to migrate my projects from Delphi 5 so there's a 
lot of new things to learn.

David.

If you have a problem showing up when creating
any new project the first thing to check for would
be a default project. If you have this file:
c:\documents and settings\\local settings\application 
data\borland\bds\4.0\DefProject.bdsproj

....then delete it or move it to get back to
default defaults for subsequently created
new projects.

In addition to your own added experts, there is
one shipping expert that comes to mind, iteidew32.bpl,
Borland Integrated Translation Environment for Win32.
Seeing as experts hook IDE events, maybe the combination
of experts you have installed results in one stomping
on another? i.e. one expert is not getting the events
it expects. You could try removing some of the experts
as experiments, including iteidew32.bpl.
