Error message

Situation:

When starting a debug session under Delphi 5.0, many people receive the error message stating "bordbk50.dll not registered". Borland CBuilder 5 has similar issues with library bordbk51.dll.

What is the problem?

"Bordbk" is the debugger kernel ("BORland DeBug Kernel").
There is a bug in the installation program which fails to register this DLL. Some people believe that this occurs only on systems where a certain registry editor command-line tool is not on the search path " this is not true since I experienced the problem also.
It looks like Borland made a mistake both in their Delphi 5.0 and CBuilder 5 installation scripts.

Solution:

The good news is that there is a simple solution. Check on your hard disk for the missing file. The default location is

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\Debugger\bordbk50.dll


Then open a DOS shell, go into that directory and type in this command:

Regsvr32 bordbk50.dll

Regsvr32 is the aforementioned command-line editing tool. It will register the DLL. If regsvr32 is not in your path then you will need to prefix it with the full path.

You need to run regsrv32 command while you are in the /debugger/ folder

Fuck you... Maybe, you did not install Debugger when you installed Delphi (Share Files/ Debugger). Solution 1: Open menu Tools / Debugger Options / General, uncheck Integrated Debugging. So that, you can not F7, F8, Ctrl+F2... Solution 2: Reinstall Delphi (Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs), check Share Files/ Debugger. So that, you can F7, F8, Ctrl+F2...
