Description:
First delete all the *.XML configuration files in the Lazarus directory. Run Lazarus. This has the same effect as running Lazarus for the first time.
A "free pascal compiler not found" dialog pops up and must be Ignored. Now go into Environment -> Environment options. Notice that the Compiler path (ppc386) and FPC source directory fields are blank.
In most installs of Lazarus, the compiler path would be Lazarus\pp\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe. Similarly, the FPC source dir would be Lazarus\fpcsrc.
Feature request: When the XML config files are created from scratch, check to see if the above mentioned directories and ppc386.exe. If so, set the paths automatically.
