Indy10 installation

[Edmund]

Hi,

Pardon me for being a bit dense, but at this moment,
I do have Indy10 'installed' into my IDE. The
component palette shows the Indy palettes.

The problem is when I add an Indy component,
say IdHTTP to a newly created form, and complie,
it gives me an error stating "File not found
IdBaseComponent.dcu".

When I downloaded indy10.zip, I unzipped it into
a temporary directory (say d:\temp) and used
Delphi 7's IDE to navigate to that directory's
Core, protocols and system to compile and install
the components.

Am I missing a vital information? I followed the
Indy site. Do I need to add something to the
paths?

Any help appreciated.

You can either add the path to the Indy .dcu's to your IDE's library path,
OR you can copy the .dcu files into your \Lib directory in your Delphi
folder.

Assuming the temp files are still there, you can use the .dcu files from
there. Just use Windows explorer to do a wildcard search on '*In*.dcu'

Yes you are missing information - but through no fault of your own. The info
you need I've supplied above. Due to an error on my part though, I forgot to
put it onto the website (Sorry I don't get much time to webmaster it these
days as my main system is almost crippled and I also have time constraints).
I'll see if I can update it tonight. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Just to let you know, I've now added the information to the website.

Hope that helps

I've actually done that before. I added the path to the
DCU to the IDE library paths, and even restarted the IDE;
but to no avail. It just didn't see any of it.

Anyway, I'll delete the Indy setup from the IDE and
re-do the whole installation. Since originally,
D7 came with Indy9 and all the stuff (Core, protocols,
system) were under $(Delphi)\LIb, I assumed that the
IDE would find it if I were to copy all the lib\(core|
protocols|system) from the Indy10 package to the
$(DELPHI)\Lib folders. I was wrong.

Thanks for the info. I'll re-do the installation
again and report back.

Hi Jamie. Here's an update.

I managed to get Indy10 installed. The problem was before,
I had to Hide all the palette members before I could delete
the Indy groups. It seems that this 'hiding' had split
over into the 'installation' part.

I had added all the Indy groups to the component palette but
they Indy component groups just didn't want to appear.
That's when I looked at "All" the components and discovered
that the Indy components were hidden. Boy, was it a PITA
to unhide all of those components.

Anyway, now everything is installed.

Thanks!

Hi Ed

I seem to remember having a similar problem with V10 in D2005 last year. No
matter how many installs I tried, the damn components wouldn't appear on the
pallete. Until I realised they were simply hidden because the IDE wasn't
setup to show them.

Very strange...

You don't have the dcu file on your search path. You probably don't have
your IDE configured properly.
