Complex package installation problem

UOS is here. https://github.com/fredvs/uos
JonBondy:
The UOS player compiles after correcting for a missing USES statement, but 1) it always opens with a big black form behind the actual program, almost as if it ran a DOS window from which it then ran the actual program; and B) it ALWAYS asks where the libraries are, which is pretty annoying. But it works.
The OvoPlayer causes an exception in the IDE and has so many missing pieces that I gave up.

Checked the "simpleplayer". The black form behind the program is a console window usually meant to catch debug output. It has nothing todo with running an external program. Go to "Project options" > "Compiler options" > "Config and target" and check "Win32 gui application" to remove the console window.

This is just a matter of these demo projects. You certainly can write code where loading of the needed libraries is done automatically, but then you must provide the correct paths to the dlls; the way it is done in the demos is to give to user a chance go specify the paths individually. Study the code in the demo and you'll find out.
