Problem installing community version on Delphi XE2

[laulbach]

I attempted to install the VPE Engine according to the instructions in the Readme file (RAD Studio 2007-2010), but could not open the vpevcl.bdsproj file. Any special instructions for Delphi XE2? Got this error message:

Unable to load project C:\Program Files(x86)\VPE_C32.600\delphi\VPEVCL.bdsproj.

The bdsproj file can not be used with XE2. Create a new component project and add vpe_vcl.pas and vpengine.pas. I am not sure if you can add vpevcl32.res, otherwise you need to extract the two BMP bitmap files from the res file using a 3rd party tool and add the BMPs directly to the new project.
