Short summary: that exact message means a Borland/Delphi runtime package is missing at load time — rtl70.bpl is the Delphi‑7 RTL package and programs built to use runtime packages will fail if the matching BPL is absent or the wrong build is present. (stackoverflow.com)

Practical diagnostic steps (fast):

  • Check whether the error appears only while browsing — many browser helpers/toolbars and older plugins were built with Delphi; look in the browser add‑ons and in Start‑up entries.
  • Search the disk for rtl70.bpl (Windows Explorer or dir /s rtl70.bpl) and note any copies and their paths.
  • Use Dependency Walker to open suspect EXEs (or the browser plugin) to see if they import rtl70.bpl. Use Process Monitor to capture “NAME NOT FOUND” / file open failures for rtl70.bpl and see which process is trying to load it. These tools will point to the exact program that needs the package. (dependencywalker.com)

How to fix (safe order):

  1. Repair or reinstall the program that needs the package — the vendor installer is the correct source of the matching runtime files.
  2. If you maintain the software, rebuild without runtime packages (link statically) or ship the correct runtime BPLs with your installer so users get matching files. Deployment docs for Delphi explain this runtime/package model. (docwiki.embarcadero.com)
  3. As a last resort for a single machine, place the correct, same‑version 32‑bit BPL in the application folder (not an arbitrary system site) — but ensure bitness and exact version match (on 64‑bit Windows, 32‑bit system files belong in SysWOW64).

Do not grab BPL/DLLs from random download sites — that is a common malware/vector risk and version‑mismatch source. Prefer the original installer or vendor redistributable. (microsoft.com)

Notes tied to this thread: and ’s posts show a downloaded file can appear to work, but the safer, repeatable fix is to identify the dependent application and reinstall/repair it or deploy the proper runtime packages with the app.

I am having the exact same problem on my computer, and noticed in your chat that you found a place where you could download this file. Would you mind sharing this information with me? I hope not since this could be the answer to my problem.

Thanks for the consideration.

I just went to DLL-files.com, and they did not have the file there. Besides that, they said that DLL files need to end in .dll format, yet this file is "rtl70.bpi". Any suggestions?

I just went to DLL-files.com and could not find the file I wanted. Beside, they said that all DLL files end in the .dll format. How can I get the file I need from this web site? Any suggestions? Do you know what the .dll file name is that I need?

Thanks,
