Installing components in Delphi 2005
Today, I have installed new components in Delphi 2005.
Delphi 2005 component installation mode (referring to VCL components) has different from previous versions,
If there is .bpl file, you can also use [Component] ---- [Install Packages ...] as before D7.
But for the .dpk file, the installation dialog is not popped upon D7.
After opening the .dpk file, D2005 will automatically generate a .bpl file, pay attention to the Project Manager panel, and the same, now the installation component is also available on this panel, select the .bpl file in the Project Manager, right click on the mouse You can see the three menu items [Install], [Compile], and [Build] in the middle of the pop-up menu, (if you have source, click [Compile]), click [Install] to install.
Before installation, remember to add the search path of the source file or .dcu file to [Tools] ---- [Options] ---- [ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS] ---- [Delphi Options] ---- [Library - Win32 ]in.
