Hi,

I've been trying to migrate an application from Builder 5 to CodeGear2007. It compiles but I get the linker error:

[ILINK32Error]Fatal: Unable to open file 'VCLE50.LIB'

I've checked through the source including the project files (*.bpr, *.cbproj) and this library is not mentioned in this code.

I've tried starting a new project and adding all my various forms and back-end code to it and the same thing happened.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I may proceed?

Any .lib files in your project or that your project uses need to be
recompiled. It is probably also wise to use a new precompiled header
cache file. You can right click on the project in the project manager
and choose "Clean" and the IDE will delete intermediate files such as
*.obj that could also contain a link to the old lib file.
