Helped setting of SysToolsDD.dpk (not SysToolsDR!) prolect/options/description/"Rebuild as Needed) both in .dpr and .dproj. Just .dpr is not recognized by GUI compiler.

(P.S. - again, just for info)

I cannot reproduce the issue. The option "Explict Rebuild" is correct.

It looks like to be some internal Delphi problem. In SO link above you may see in comments : "This is still an issue in Delphi 10.0 seattle."
Thought that my experience may be useful for somebody because it fixes things only with "dwsLib package Description/Build control/Rebuild as needed". Nothing else.

Are you sure that all SysTools*.dcp files are deleted on your hard disk, or are there some files from older installations?

[vic123]

Pretty sure, but cannot guarantee,
I've had sources from 2001 included in compile path.
And initially built SysToolsDR in debug config.
But think that was controlling carefully everything from registry changes to created files.

Do a grep search for SysTools*.dcp, delete all occurrences and rebuild the project group.
