The library path can only be a certain length. Perhaps you inserted
the path to Apollo 4 ahead of the paths associated with the other two
packages, and Delphi ignored the rest. If so, removing Apollo without
truncating the library path wouldn't accomplish a thing.

However, that's merely a guess as to the cause of your troubles.

The only time I've seen that message was when I lost a DLL used by a
component suite. Replacing the DLL solved the problem that time.
