Hi,

How do i install a Component? Ive tried but i think i might have just wrecked Delphi. I have no idea how to do it.

More specifically, could you give a step by step intructions for installing the SynEdit (synedit.sourceforge.net) Component?

Hi,

1.)In some cases, the dpk-File(s) (Package-File) have to be opened in the Delphi-IDE.
2.)After that you have to copile the package file.
3.)Add the package.
4.)Close all Files open your project you want to work with
5.)Select the menu (in German: Komponente/Packages installieren) Component/install packages
6.)Check your new package/component

Good luck

Stefan

I still dont get it. I tried doing what you said but it keeps giving me errors like "blablah.file" not found and such.

Could you download the component from

http://synedit.sourceforge.net/download.php

then find out how you have to install it then tell me?

Sorry, I can't work it out in a reasonable time.

What do you need this component for?
Are there better/other components available?
Please ask other more experienced programmers.


Greetings

You may need to add the location where the component .pas or .dcu files are located to your library path. Click on Tools|Environment Options, and go to the library tab. Look to see if the path is in your library paths, and add it if it is not.
