Compilation Fails: E2202 Required package 'WebView4DelphiVCLRTL' not found

[RikusJ]

Problem Description:

I am unable to compile the FMX packages due to a persistent "Required package not found" error. The exact error message is:

[dcc32 Fatal Error] WebView4DelphiFMXRTL.dpk(33): E2202 Required package 'WebView4DelphiVCLRTL' not found
This error occurs when trying to compile WebView4DelphiFMXRTL.dpk, immediately after WebView4DelphiVCLRTL.dpk appears to compile successfully.

Troubleshooting Steps Attempted:

I have followed all standard installation procedures and extensive troubleshooting for several hours, including:

Compiling packages manually in the correct dependency order (VCLRTL -> FMXRTL -> FMX_designtime).

Using the WebView4Delphi.groupproj and the "Build All" command.

Setting the global IDE library path in Tools > Options to point to the source folder.

Creating a dedicated dcu output folder and setting the DCP output directory and Unit output directory to this folder.

Adding the dedicated dcu output folder back to the global library search path.

Ensuring the active build platform was set to "Windows 32-bit" for all compilation attempts.

Moving the entire project folder out of the Downloads directory to a simple path (C:\Delphi\Components) to eliminate potential permissions issues.

Verifying that the project-level search paths (Project > Options > Delphi Compiler > Search path) were empty to ensure the global paths were being inherited.

Restarting the Delphi IDE multiple times between attempts.

Despite these steps, the error persists at the exact same point. It seems the 32-bit compiler is unable to locate the output of the VCL runtime package, even when all paths seem to be configured correctly.

Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

I would suggest a few things :

• Try deleting all DCU, BPL, etc. files.
• The search path in the project options points to $(WEBVIEW4DELPHI)\source. Try adding a new environment variable in Delphi called "WEBVIEW4DELPHI" that points to the WebView4Delphi root directory.
• See the installation instructions in the wiki.
