I ended up using the following code: constructor Tf_MyForm.Create(_Owner: TComponent); begin inherited; WindowState := wsMinimized; ShowWindow(Handle, SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE); end; So far it seems to work fine.

Here is a mp4 screen recording that shows the "DLL becomes EXE" bug without an installed IDE Fix Pack. DelphiOptionsetDllToExeBug.mp4

Having worked in Delphi since D1, and twice having had to deal with the issue of components without source, I would say that the value without source is essentially zero, as the risk factor is not worth any benefits in the short term. So I would suggest that the question as you ask it is simply wrong.

Hi Developers, Deleaker was created in 2006, and is been support Visual Studio from the very first release. Now it's time to find leaks in Delphi and C++ Builder! Deleaker finds memory leaks, leaks of GDI and USER32 resources, handles and many others. Deleaker fully integrates with RAD Studio. Here the official announcement: https://www.deleaker.com/blog/2019/03/11/integration-with-rad-studio/ Let's look how it works! Download Deleaker and launch it. Now you can select versions of RAD Studio you want Deleaker to integrate with. Of course, RAD Studio Rio 10.3 is supported: Deleaker is installed, let's launch Delphi: Great, Deleaker is here: Let's add some leaks: Start debugging, click the button, exit. Deleaker is taking a snapshot: Two leaks are shown as expected. It's easy to navigate to source of a leak: Happy coding!

Probably more interesting for the German speaking - since this game still has some active and great following/modding in Germany. (But it seems my DP login only works for the English DP forum) Anyway here a bit about the gitHub fork I did on the original deceased source: http://fixedbycode.blogspot.com/2019/03/siege-of-avalon-lifted.html now working with 10.3.1 😉

No, IDE Fix Pack can't do that. You can ask that Embarcadero.

That did the trick. Now I can reproduce this. "Unfortunately" this is not an IDE Fix Pack bug as I can also reproduce it without IDE Fix Pack installed.

Absolutely. But I tend to start with one single sub-forum for the TurboPower-components. When we come to a point that we have too many posts in there, we should go some steps further.
