Did you build the host app with run-time packages, at minimum with VCL60.bpl?

Hi
For this problem:
you must set an option in main exec project.
in delphi 7 menu bar go to:

Project--> options then select package tab.
Check the "Build with runtime packages" checkbox and Ok.
now run your application;
