Debugger kernel BORDBK51.DLL is missing or not registered
Larry Bristol
error message when building a new project. I found a report for a
similar problem (in version 4) on Borland's web site, indicating that
the problem is in the registry. I am running win95; the solution is
given for NT, however, and does not work on my system. I am not all
that familiar in dealing with registry problems, anyway.
The name of the shared directory ("\Borland\CBuilder5\Borland Shared")
was modified using the installation dialog
("Borland\CBuilder5\Shared"). The DLL is present in the
"\Borland\CBuilder5\Shared\Debugger" directory; in fact, it is the ONLY
file in that directory.
I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

with bordbk51.dll in it and run
regsvr32 bordbk51.dll
if that doesn't work first run
regsvr32 -u bordbk51.dll
and then register it.

Jeff,
When I try REGSVR32 from a command prompt, I get "Bad command or file name".

I have found, however, a file called REGSVR32.EXE in the "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM"
directory. It appears to have corrected the problem. Thanks.
This directory is *NOT* in the PATH string; would you expect it to be? No wonder I
hate win95!

not being there could cause a lot of unexpected problem of dll not found
messages.

"<windows>" and "<windows>\command" are there, but not
"<windows>\system". I will add it manually and continue to be amazed
that any of this works at all.
I have not received any (other) messages about .DLL's not being found,
or encountered other anomalous behavior that I cannot explain. (OTOH,
I cannot explain it when things behave correctly, either!) Since I
have not had this OS installed very long, it just could be one of
those "situations" waiting for the right opportunity to come along in
order to inflict the most damage. In time, unless I am very lucky, I
am sure I will get used to windows. <smile>
Thanks for your help, Jeff!

Whoops! I spoke too soon earlier. This has *NOT* fixed the problem.
I ran the above command with the -u switch and got:
DllUnregisterServer in Bordbk51.dll succeeded.
then ran it again (without the switch) and got:
DllRegisterServer in Bordbk51.dll succeeded.
However, I still get the message about the missing .DLL. I only get
the message if the project has been modified in some way. If nothing
is modified, even a "Build All" does not cause the error message to be
generated.

As I indicated earlier, this procedure does not correct the problem.
As far as I can tell, the DLL is, infact, registered correctly. I
have narrowed the problem down a bit from last week.
This only seems to occur when I select Run (F9) in the IDE after
having made changes to the application. It first performs the
required Make (a la Cntl-F9), displays the message box about the
"missing DLL", and does not execute the application.
If I first select Make (Cntl-F9), the application changes are compiled
and linked as one would expect, and the message does not appear.
After the Make activity is completed (using either of the two ways
above), I can now select Run, and the apllication executes as
expected. (Well, not always *exactly* as expected, but that is
another story. <grin>)
I have no trouble getting BCB to run the application, and in spite of
the "missing DLL", the debugger also works perfectly well. This
message box is more of an aggravation than anything, but I surely
would like to get it resolved.

1) Put bordbk51.dll in the system directory.
2) regsvr32 bordbk51.dll
This should make it work.

OK - I put the DLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and registered it
(successfully) as you suggested. Since doing so, I have not been able
to reproduce the error message. We will have to wait and see if this
solution "sticks", but it looks good for now.
Thanks, Chris!
