    In the D7 ages, LMD the component vendor used to have a free tool was called something I don't remember, but it solves the problem greatly like this: You installed all required packages and uninstall all unnessary packages for ProjectXP, now use the tool you take the snapshot of your currently installed packages and save as a profile named, for example "pkgs for ProjectXp". And then for ProjectVista, repeat the same steps. So how to switch the package set? You close the IDE, use this tool to make active the desired profile, then start the IDE. I was using it for years without a problem, but unfortunately it's discontinued for the XE ages... Uwe Raabe are you solving the same issue I described above?

    Edwin Yip Yes, I think so. Although Package Magician doesn't require an IDE restart when changing projects. It may need some time to get all your projects on track again. Once you put a package into the Required list of a project it will be unloaded when the project is changed. So, if the next project also needs that package, it has to be listed as Required, too. The settings are stored in a separate file with named .pkgmgc, which should be added to the version control. I couldn't find a way to capture that component not found dialog, which would allow for a more sophisticated handling of this situation.
