hello one and all,

I'm getting back into Delphi, 12 right now, after last use with XE2.  I started with 1 in 1995.

anyway, I am evaluating PgDAV for direct connection into psql.   when I copy and run the exe unto a native win11 machine and run it, the message is:  "The specified module could not be found PgDAC Trial Version needs addition "bpl" files to be present on the user PC.  If you build your project without run_time packages you need: dac290.bpl pgdac290.bpl"

am I not building the exe properly??? if not, please direct me specifically for Delphi 12.   I've tried a few options and such in Project > Options with no luck.  I really do not want bpl's, dcp's, or dll's, like back in the day of interbase or firebird, floating around and would much rather have only a single exe, even if it is larger.

thank you in advance.  Lucas
