My situation is even worser :-)
Library DLL is writen in Pascal, but main application is C/C#.
When I call in library RunError() then whole application aborts.
I need throw exception in library which can be catched in application.

I now use in unit which is used by library:

   if System.IsLibrary then
     raise TObject.Create // raise exception - type of exception is not 
important ...
     // can I call here also Windows's RaiseException()? ... so it will 
be propagated to linking application?
   else
     System.RunError(w);
