Bedankt Marco,

That's what I suspected. So when building a Win32 system from scratch,
I'd have to either extract the files from the installer or perhaps get
them from a stable branch like:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/branches/fixes_2_6/install/binw32/

Facepalm - could have saved you the trouble of typing.... I knew this...
Just need more coffee I guess....

Thanks again,
