+==== Copy DLL's to IDE Directory ====
+Because we've implemented many functionality for design time usage in the IDE which uses third party libraries,
+you have to copy some dll's from zip-archive to IDE directory.
+By default you can find the IDE directory here:
+**"C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\"**
+But it might be different, depending on your installation process.
+You'll need to copy the following files from your Gorilla3D installation directory.
+You find all necessary dll's in the "lib\" directory:
+  * lib\WebView2\x86\WebView2Loader.dll (for Sketchfab Plugin)
+  * lib\fmod\windows\fmod.dll (for FMOD Audio)
+  * lib\fmod\windows\fmod_vc.lib (for FMOD Audio)
+  * lib\fmod\windows\fmodL.dll (for FMOD Audio)
+  * lib\fmod\windows\fmodL_vc.lib (for FMOD Audio)
+  * lib\skp\SketchUpAPI.dll (for Sketchfab Import format)
+  * lib\skp\SketchUpAPI.lib (for Sketchfab Import format)
+  * lib\skp\SketchUpCommonPreferences.dll (for Sketchfab Import format)
+==== BPI ====
+C++ Builder IDE might pop up a dialog, if it cannot find the Gorilla3D BPI file.
+To solve this issue, select the "<INSTALL-DIR>\Win32\Release\C\Gorilla3D_Delphi_11_3_0_Alexandria.bpi" in that dialog.
+The dialog should only appear once, during initial setup.
+==== Move BPL to your project's execution directory ====
+It has not been fully investigated why some applications are only able to run with an existing "Gorilla3D_Delphi_11_3_0_Alexandria.bpl" in the project's execution folder.
+You might control that behaviour by
+  * Compiler options: <code>Project -> Options -> C++ Linker -> Link with dynamic RTL</code>
+  * Copy the BPL to the system's dll folders
+  * Environment Variables
+But at least try to copy the "Gorilla3D_Delphi_11_3_0_Alexandria.bpl" file into your project's execution folder.
+Windows will try to find that file on starting your application.
