(Most don't.) But if you update your Delphi version, you'd still have to go through the steps above. There really are no other options, unless the vendor supplies pre-build designtime and runtime packages for you, or supplies an installer that will do all of the above steps. This has been the way components are installed since around Delphi 3 or so, and the requirement to separate out designtime code into it's own package started being advised in Delphi 5 and enforced in Delphi 6 (when they relocated much of the IDE designtime support into their own separate packages and stopped distributing the source for them). The separate design-time package (the third step) is required because designtime code can only be used at design-time there's nothing that can be distributed with an application if it's built with runtime packages and the package build in step 2 is one of them. It's also needed when you decide to build your application with runtime packages, if you use the third-party components and want to distribute the runtime package for it. It's required, because the design-time package (next step) requires the code that's in that package in order to function in the Form Designer. The next step (finding the "normal package") is in order to build the runtime package. pas files to Project->Options->Delphi Compiler->Search Path.) dpk (eg., M圜omponents in '.\Source\M圜omponents.pas') or add the location of the. pas files are in a different location, you'll need to either use relative paths in the. pas file names are listed in the includes section in the. (Actually, it's not required - you can eliminate this step by making sure that the. Philip Truscott ExpertsExchangeProblem.First, adding the file path to Tools->Options->Delphi Options->Library Path is so the compiler knows where to find the files to compile them. I know think I have a partially installed component so I need to know how to remove it. It must have be designed by that cheerful soul who first decided to call a program error a "FATAL" error. Just shoot me but this is a really nasty way to design a user interface. Eventually I tried to compile it but received the error message that:
Even if I could I don't know where to put it in this dialog box.īecause I could see no other way to proceed I specified the *.dcu file in the top dialog box (see SCREEN 1).
But how on earth to I tell it to place the new package in VCL? I cannot find a *.dpk file in in my Borland Directory tree called VCL.DPK. DPK file I am told to install and put it in PACKAGE FILE NAME as shown. I get the DIALOG BOX SHOWN IN SCREEN 1 ATTACHED. I enter Delphi and click COMPONENT -> INSTALL COMPONENT Open package APMAP5.DPK (APMAP6.DPK, APMAP7.DPK) and install it into VCL, then open APDBMAP5.DPK (APDBMAP6.DPK, APDBMAP7.DPK) and install it. I just got a component that tells me to do the following:
