Why are the jedi packages driving me insane?
I have installed the Jedi packages and everything appears to be in place.
The path of the bpl files is in my system path.
The path is also in the library path of Delphi and in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
The registry correctly shows the packages listed in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
So why when I run Delphi I get, for example, the message "The program can't start because JvCore170.bpl is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."?
What am I missing?

@Geert: Really? I don't have any bpl file in Windows directory nor in Windows XP nor in Windows 7 and I don't have that problem... but I have the same problem in Windows 8 and I don't figure out why. Why do you say that package files have to be in Windows directory?
A light saber could be a solution: there is one available for rent? :)

the light saber is for cutting the pc in half ... no more pc... no more problem
off course that doesn't really solve the problem, grin
windows 8 >> that new version with all the furniture moved and the start button hidden ?
it could also be a version mismatch
when i loop at that BPL, i see 170 in the name of the file
> probably means compiler version 170, which is Delphi 2005.
So you installed the Delphi 2005 version or using that version ?
Seems odd it would be that version, it wasn't very good

Delphi has a plethora of different numbers for different parts. E.g., For Delphi XE3 (which is the version I'm using at the moment), we have:
Product Version 17
Package version 170
Compiler Version 24.00
BDS Version 10
Gets confusing, nu? :-)
So far no cigars guys!

what happens if you open the group project for that version and install all of the projects in it ?
JclPackagesD170.groupproj

I've tried that but the problem is that if you don't know the correct order in which to install them you keep getting the Package A can't be installed because Package B isn't installed/on your system.
Also I've discovered that I have two sets of the Jedi code on my machine.
I think I'm just going to wipe out any reference to Jedi code from my disk and the registry and re-download the zip from the net and go through the installation progress anew.

mixing packages will surely fail
a fresh start is probably best

Because I came up with the realisation that I had to start afresh, But as it was the obvious solution I've only graded it as an average solution.
Those files should also be in the windows directory
