 - go to Project | Options | Packages, check "Build with runtime package", go to the end of the 
   packages edit field, remove ";TVidGrab", and then uncheck "Build with runtime package".

 be sure to enable the "use folder names" option, otherwise files having the same name will overwrite themselves.
