I just purchased the full version of Delphi XE Architect after using the trial version for 30 days. I can't build anything, every time I go to build a project I get the error.

[DCC Fatal Error] MegaMainPrj.dpr(1): F1027 Unit not found: 'System.pas' or binary equivalents (.dcu)

A quick google said that the library paths were a problem and I compared what was given (in a previous stackoverflow question) with what I had in the registry, and it was identical.

What could be causing this?

EDIT: Immediatly after I get this error message the entire IDE crashes.

add this : $(BDSLIB)\win32\release;

to your library path .
