The Delphi styling mechanism hard codes style paths for Delphi built-in styles.
During compilation, a .VRC file is generated for your project (in this example ProjectName.vrc which is a resource compiler script. This was introduced by Delphi 2007 (see: Pre-build trick does not work to circumvent [BRCC32 Error] xxx.vrc(1): error creating xxx.res (via: Embarcadero Discussion Forums & StackOverflow)), got extended over time and by now this script can includes at least:
- version info
- main icon
- manifest reference
- platform targets
- supported styles
For the latter, you can get errors like this one:
[BRCC32 Error] ProjectName.vrc(63): file not found: C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\10.0\Styles\SlateClassico.vsf
The solution to this error is simple:
- Go to your project options
- Switch to “All Targets”
- Go to node “Application”, then “Appearance”
- Look for the style named just in front of the
.vsfextension (in this caseStateClassico) - Remove the checkmark.
- Press OK
- Rebuild
