Demo of Apollo won't go away!

I downloaded a demo version of Apollo from Successwares BBS in the
states. The demo states that it is fully functional except for Delphi
must be running in order for programs to work.

This is fine, what I don't think is so good is that a program that
does not use Apollo at all, will now not run without Delphi loaded. I
have removed Apollo from my Delphi setup, rebuilt the program in
question, but still I get a message about the program being built with
a demo version of Apollo and Successwares number in the states.

How do I get rid of this ? I have a program that I must install this
week and it will now not run except for on my PC !

If anyone from Successware is reading this please reply, I was
sreiously considering buying Apollo, but this has jaded my opinion a
little.

Yours hopefully

Some of your files still contain references to the Apollo units. Some DCUs
are not recompiled if the source code does not change. Check all the uses
clauses in all your files. Some of them probably contain references to
units you removed or renamed in the project manager and still compile with
references to the Apollo units.

Check that you have removed any references in USES clauses for Apollo
components. Delphi does not remove unused units automatically.

Remove the Apollo components and Rebuild your library in DELPHI

I didn't read the original message, only this reply. But it could be that you
are still having problems because the library-serach path
(options->environment->library) still starts with ...\apollo and
..\apollo\sde_only. This will link a different dbiprocs and dbitypes in your
library to support apollo options. If you remove these references you get rid of
those problems.
Hope this helps, otherwise i misunderstood the original question.

P.S. Had problems with newsreader. This message is about a month late. I hope it
is not obsolete.

I also only saw this reply - couldn't get to the original message (presumably 'this week' is
well and truly passed now!).
The situation described reminded me of a problem I had when I tried to deploy a program which
used Apollo v2.0.
On every machine apart from my own I got a message like DbiInitFn failed. It turned out that
on the other machines, the BDE files were stored in a different location than my machine.
WHen I created the same full path for the BDE files on these machines, it worked correctly.
Also I discovered that copying the file IDAPI01.DLL into the _current_ directory caused the
error to go away. Very strange and annoying bug!

Hope I've answered the right question...
