Delphi 7 has decided that it no longer want to cooperate. I was working on a relatively small project and was all but finished, but as I chose an icon for the exe-file the program threw this error: RLINK32 Too many resources to handle.

Now it throws that error even on a completely empty form whenever I try to compile it.

  • If it happens on an empty new fresh project then the RLINK32.dll has been corrupted, have you tried simply reinstalling Delphi? Commented Jun 19, 2013 at 9:42

    If the Delphi 7 linker won't link your resource, and that does sometimes happen, then link the resource as a post-processing step Commented Jun 19, 2013 at 10:43
  • Deletion of the project res file might solve the problem (Delphi will rebuild it). I have heard that res files of 3th-party components like Virtual Treeview may cause it as well. Check the res files for unusal size. Commented Jun 20, 2013 at 10:26

Just for the record: Today I ran into this error (also using Delphi 7). I was editing the DFM directly/manually (for my project is a pure WinApi application). I got the error when assigning an empty string to a property (inside the DFM file).

Caption = ''

Obviously, the RLINK32 error was gone as soon as I removed the infamous empty string (which the compiler doesn't like), or after changing the value to a non-empty string.
