Delphi 7 interferes with FinalBuilder library path

If I have Delphi 7 open, and I try to run a FinalBuilder project that uses the Build Delphi Win32 action, it is not able to load the Library Path. So I get errors like 'Required package ‘rtl’ not found. This happens whether I run the FinalBuilder project from the IDE or the command line. As soon as I close Delphi, the problem goes away. Is there a way around this?

Hi Jim

This is a problem with Delphi 7 opening dcu and dcp files in exclusive mode, there is unfortunately nothing we can do about this.

I remember reporting this issue to embarcadero a few years ago, but can’t find the report so not sure what version I reported it for, and I have no idea if/when it was fixed. We encountered this when trying to compile projects in parallel using FinalBuilder (in the hope of speeding up our build process).
