Is it possible for any one  to confirm that
if following the steps of the wiki
[ http://wiki.freepascal.org/How_to_Write_a_Lazarus_Component ]
if you edit the field [ New class name : ] and set anything that do
not start with the letter [T]
when you press install
lazarus first reports that the file is modified and provide option to
reload from disk or not
and after the rebuild ends
lazarus reports error 202 and refuse to start

[OS:Win7 64bit / Lazarus 1.2.4]

*make a back up of lazarus first if you try this

in order for lazarus to report a modification there should be at least
two open projects that use the same file. Try to find where you
duplicated what and will see from there.

no other instance of lazarus
no other file editor open
 one thing i just came up is that  i didn't save the default project
added when lazarus starts...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I never save that one and I never get the reload message either. The
only thing left to check is that the file was change from an outside
source like a text editor or something else.

just now i repeat the process
new package
save as testp.lpk in folder testp
hit add
go new component
choose anchestor type
remove the [T] from the  [ New class name : ]
hit create new component
hit save
hit install
==========
response is lazarus cant compile remove it from the list?
==============
i didn't change or add anything else
===================================

failed as mentioned

Something like the attached image? If yes have noticed that the
component name and unitname are the same? Make sure that the Unit name
differs from the component name and see if that fixes the problem

@ taazz thank you very much
your advice solved the issue

setting field [unit file name :] [ unit name ] the same
and field [new class name :] not to much them works fine

@Taazz - nice work solving this one. 
Do you know if this a known limitation in fpc/Lazarus, or just an
issue with that wizard? (classname cannot = unitname)

it is a known issue with the designer I think ee you can't name your
form with the same name as the unit it is in, I don't know if the
compiler has any problems with it but I would guess no since the first
problem risen after the lazarus IDE was build.
