To debug a project on a machine that does not have RAD Studio installed, you must install the remote debugger executable files. You can install these files either directly from the installation disk or by copying them from a machine that has RAD Studio installed.

To install the remote debugger, use either:

• The installation disk if it is available.
• Files from the machine that has the IDE installed if the installation disk is not available.

To install the remote debugger from the installation disk

1. Insert the installation disk into the remote machine.
2. Choose Install Remote Debugger.
3. Follow the instructions provided by the wizard.
4. The file name RemoteDebugger.exe on the product DVD is the Remote Debugger installer. You can copy this onto your developer workstation (your RAD Studio machine) to make deploying the remote Debugger to new target machines easier.

To install the remote debugger if the installation disk is not available

1. Create a directory on the remote machine for the installation files.
2. Locate the following files on the local machine (by default, the files are in C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\<n.n>\Bin):
   • rmtdbg<nnn>.exe
   • bccide.dll
   • bordbk<nnn>.dll
   • bordbk<nnn>N.dll
   • comp32x.dll
   • DCC<nnn>.DLL

Note: The Version number shown above as <nnn> code varies from product version to product version. For RAD Studio XE, the version number is 150, so the main remote debug client executable is rmtdbg150.exe.

3. Copy the files from your local machine to the directory you created on the remote machine.
4. On the remote computer, register bordbk<nnn>.dll and bordbk<nnn>n.dllby running the regsvr32.exe registration utility.
   For example, on Windows XP, enter C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe bordbk<nnn>.dll at the command prompt, then enter:
   C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe bordbk<nnn>n.dll.
