The new version of dzBdsLauncher fixes a bug when handling .dpk files. It now actually opens the .dpk file in the IDE rather than try to open a .dpr file that does not exist and fail.

The Delphi 12 and 13 IDE create a link on the main level of the Windows start menu which starts the 32 bit IDE. This happens every time you start any of the two IDEs and it annoyed the hell out of me. I just updated dzBdsLauncher to optionally delete this link after the IDE … Continue reading dzBdsLauncher 1.0.18 now deletes annoying links in start menu →

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.13. It now supports Delphi 13 - kind of. Since the .dproj-version of Delphi 13 apparently is 20.3, just as for Delphi 12.3, it cannot distinguish between those versions and will ask the user which Delphi version to start.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.16. It now supports file names and directories containing space characters.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.15. It now recognizes the .dproj-version 20.3 as Delphi 12.3.

Unfortunately version 1.0.13 of dzBdsLauncher had a bug when called with a Delphi 2007 .dproj file: It correctly detected (or rather assumed) Delphi 2007 but then said it could not detect the Delphi version. That bug is now fixed in the version 1.0.14.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.13. If it detects more than one possible Delphi version from the available project information it now checks which of them are installed if only one is installed, it starts this version. If more than one is installed, it asks the user.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.12. It now shows an error message, if it is called with a .dpr file parameter but cannot find a corresponding .dproj, .bdsproj or .dof file.

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.11. The only change is support for detecting .dproj files created by Delphi 12 (these have a ProjectVersion of 20.1).

I just released dzBdsLauncher 1.0.9. If started with a .bdsproj file, it will now not just assume that a .dpr file must exist but will check for it and if it does not exist, will try for a .dpk file.
