Thanks for the update. Grateful to get such rapid and inciteful support. All the best

I can't find any occurrence of the string '$(Auto)' in any of the path statements/lists I'm afraid. If anyone has a similar issue here is what I did to get to a solution, Set the project options (as well as the IDE options) search path to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\Bpl for each off IcsCommonNewRun and IcsVclNewRun and IcsCommonNewDesign and IcsVclNewDesign in turn. They all now compile/build and the Designtime ones install BUT The BPL name in each case contains the string '$(Auto)' rather then the substituted package version number. e.g the built bpl filename is IcsCommonNewDesign$(Auto).bpl Renamed each bpl to the desired name e.g. IcsCommonNewDesign270.bpl I then used the package list [Component | Install Package] to add them to the IDE.

Thank you for the rapid response. I've added C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\Bpl explicitly as the first entry in the Library path I get the same result as previously - where should I make any other changes ? Thanks again

HI I'm getting [Fatal Error] Can't load package IcsCommonNewDesign$(Auto).bpl. The system cannot find the file specified When trying to install ICS V9.1 into D10.4 - The BPLS are however successfully all created in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\Bpl with the suffix 270 [which apparently is the 'package version' for 'product version' 21.0 - Delphi 10.4] e.g. C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\Bpl\IcsCommonNewDesign270.bpl is built when I click on Build in the project Manager pane. (same behaviour for IcsCommonNewRun and IcsVclNewRun and IcsVclNewDesign) I guess there is some path definition missing or incorrect - any help would be gratefully received - I have followed all the steps in the install doc ReadMe9.txt from scratch (3 times now) Many thanks
