At start up: "1 transfer item(s) contain syntax errors"

I installed Borland C++ Builder version 5.0 Pro on my Windows 7 (64 bit) system.   When I start up the IDE, I get an "Information" dialog box that reports "1 transfer item(s) contain syntax errors".   

I click OK  and all is well ... I can do everything just fine at that point.   The problem is the dialog box comes up BEHIND everything else ... and I only remember I have to click about a third of the time ... wasting a lot of time.

Any way to permanently resolve this ?


Thanks

I had the same error. What fixed it for me was uninstalling the tool and reinstalling it in the C:\Program Files\... folder. If you choose default settings, it installs it in the C:\Program Files(x86)\... directory. (In Windows 7 anyway)

I got the same "Information" dialog box on Windows 7.
Here is what worked for me:
Click on Tools,Configure Tools.
The Tool Options box opens.
Select Visual C++ Project Conversion Utility.
Click on Edit.
Remove the quotation marks from the parameter entry, leaving a space between -i and C at the beginning of the entry.
Click OK.
