Since when is the PLATFORMTARGETS resource included in non-package binaries?
jpluimers
A while ago, I discovered that most (if not all) Delphi compiled Windows binaries contain the PLATFORMTARGETS resource. This is a resource introduced in Delphi XE2 meant to be included in package binaries only. The… … Read more
