Delphi extension compatibility

During installation, DocInsight registers the architecture-appropriate DocInsightLoader.dll as an IDE expert for each Delphi version you select. When bds.exe starts, the loader detects the running BDS version and loads the matching version-specific extension DLL from the active toolchain. The following table lists the extension DLL selected at runtime for each supported version.

You normally do not need to select or register a version-specific DLL manually. List the Delphi installations detected by DocInsight and their extension status:

shell 
docinsight delphi list

Enable the loader for every detected installation:

shell 
docinsight delphi enable

The DocInsight installer also enables the loader for the Delphi versions you select during installation.
