Next steps will reproduce the problem:
1. Compile MPShellTypes.pas to produce MPShellTypes.hpp
2. Try to compile a project in Builder which contains #include 
"MPShellTypes.hpp"
3. There will be errors in file MPShellTypes.hpp because of absence of 
definition of TKnownFolderDefinition and _di_IKnownFolder.

Expected the project to be compiled, but it is not.

Problem appears on CodeGear 2007 (Builder), Win 7 Pro.

May be next changes in MPShellTypes.pas are necessary:
  {$EXTERNALSYM TKnownFolderDefinition} -> DELETE LINE
  TKnownFolderDefinition = record
  ...

  {$EXTERNALSYM TKnownFolderDefinition} -> CHANGE LINE:
                                           {$EXTERNALSYM IKnownFolderManager}
  IKnownFolderManager = interface(IUnknown)
  ...

You should not write
 SrvAPIHandle := CommonLoadLibrary('SVRAPI.DLL');
unconditionally.

A better code
 if Win32Platform = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS then
    SrvAPIHandle := CommonLoadLibrary('SVRAPI.DLL');

Reason:
Some old apps copy SVRAPI.DLL into System32.
DllEntry of this library seems to load old kernel function 
converttoglobalhandle and displays error message.

Are there any Plans for a Port to Delphi XE8 ?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download with svn
2. open is file with InnoSetup
3. error "IDE install.txt not found"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
require other application or package?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
DelphiXE3 on Win7

The problem is the assembler functions in MPCommonUtilities.  I have applied 
the changes in VirtualTreeView and used the SysUtil WideChar functions.  Please 
see the attached patch file. 

in no other package I have found a dependency from the corresponding run-time 
package. In MPCommonLibD16D (design-time) there is a dependency from 
MPCommonLibD16(run-time). I have removed it.

Is it correct?

Salvatore

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open D5D Pkg, compiles and installs ok;
2. Open D5 Pkg producuces error @ Types unit declaration (D6 I guess);
3. Commented this line to learn whatever...
4. Error @ IInterface ([Error] MPCommonUtilities.pas(500): Undeclared 
identifier: 'IInterface')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Cmpile n Install successfully... Compile errors as if Delphi version is wrong.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v2.2.1 under D5 Pro and Windows 7 32.

Please provide any additional information below.
I downloaded the easylistview demo and found it very interesting... then I 
tried to install it failed: no MPCommonUtilities found;
now I am trying to install MPCommonUtilities with no effort =[

thanks in advance,

Trying to build a windows service that references MPShellUtilities, under my 
system, it seems the initial folder points to a non-existing place and an AV 
happens. To fix it, inside 

function PIDLIsFolder(APIDL: PItemIDList): Boolean;

I have to do this:

  if not Assigned(APIDL) then Exit;

I don't really need anything in that unit for the service, it just happens to 
be shared with a non-used code in the same EXE, but the initialization runs 
anyway
