Delphi 2010 - Compile, Install - But no components

[junio]

Hi, I am trying to install Zeos 7 in Delphi 2010 (Delphi 14).
Everything goes fine, compiles ok, no errors at all.
Install completes and warns me that everything did fine.

However, no zeos components at all on the toolbar.
If I try menu Component->Install Packages, I can see Zeos there, and checked.
But if I press the button "Components", under this same menu path, for Zeos, the list of installed components is empty.

Any help?

Thanks a lot.

Which package are you trying to install? The ZeosDBo-7.0.0-alpha or the SVN?

More over which component have you compiled? Visual component are on the ZComponentDesign package

I am using ZeosDBo-7.0.0-alpha, windows xp, braz-portuguese.

hi everybody
I have a problem too
I am using Delphi 2009 and I try to install ZeosDBO-7.0.0-alpha.
It is warning!!!!
Can't load package C:\ZEOSDBO-7.0.0-alpha\packages\delphi12\build\ZComponentDesign120.bpl

Any help?

Same here.
D 2010 with latest patches on Win XP.
Using download zip file "ZEOSDBO-7.0.0-alpha.zip", not SVN.
I followed instructions in html file.

1. Openened "ZeosDbo.groupproj"
2. Added "build" dir to library
3. Compiled all sources with no errors
4. When I try to install "ZComponentDesign140" it tells me "Cannot start application, because ZDbc140.bpl was not found. New installation maybe fixes the problem" (error message translated from german to english by myself).
5. After clicking ok there is another message box "package "path\ZComponentDesign140.bpl" cannot be loaded. Mentioned module was not found.

After this I tried the following:
1. Select "Menu > Components > Install packages ..."
2. Add
3. Selected "ZComponentDesign140.bpl"
4. No error appears but component listing is empty.

Any ideas?

Best regards.

Addition:
I am able to compile my project, but I cannot open a form which contains a visual Zeos component.
When trying I get a message "Class ZConnection not found".

I had the same problem: http://zeos.firmos.at/viewtopic.php?t=2684

Thank you, aperger. I'm a bit curious on this issue. It does NOT work if you just manually add the route to the library or browsing paths in Delphi. It must be added to the OS environment variable, which is kinda weird.

[aperger]

Yes, OS "PATH" environment variable, NOT under Delphi. Sorry!

Ok, added "C:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi5\Comp\D2010\ZEOSDBO\packages\delphi14\build\" to the OS PATH Variable (really strange !!) compiled and installed ZComponentDesign140.bpl but still no components on my pallette or Forms.

What about doing it the Jedi way and installing *.bpl to the Standard Delphi bpl directory. Jedi and DelphiZip for example just work !

Edit:

I won't put the build directory for D2010 to my OS PATH any more, because i still have Delphi 5 that works(!!) and *.bpl duplicates in PATH is really not a good idea!!

I hate this fucking Delphi 2010 and i spent 700 EURO for that shit ( ok, it takes only 1 Minute to start up and exe sizes are duoble, really great !)

Well, have a look at Lazarus, they just doubled their price . Nontheless, if you come from Delphi 5 it's not a bad idea to switch.

Hi mdaems,

the "value" of lazarus doubles every week i'm fighting with D2010!

Jedi doesn't support Delphi 5 anymore, so i have to move ... to lazarus.

But what is most importend at the moment:
I would like to thank you for all your efforts on zeoslib forum !!

Hi!

When installing, after opening the Project Group, do the build in each of the BPLs less in ZComponentDesign140.bpl ...

Then compile each of BPLS, leaving again without compiling ZComponentDesign140.bpl ...

Then, through the Project Explorer, go to the dependencies (requires) of the ZComponentDesign140.bpl and remove all, leaving only the "dbrtl.dcp" and "designide.dcp. Then, Build, Compile and Install ...

[JohnML]

Yeah !! that worked !!!

Thanks a lot for that tip.

That solution should be made sticky at "ZeosLib 7.0 Alfatest Forum"

Really happy now :-))

Hi all!

I read the posts and can not understand why the majority tries to install the components manually. Use MultiInstaller from the site Silverpoint

Here's the code for the installer. I use it myself constantly. I can not say that absolutely no problems, but it is a ZEOS - no.

Code: Select all

[Package - ZeosDBO 7.0.0 Alpha]
Name=ZEOSDBO-7.0.0
Zip=ZEOSDBO-7.0.0-alpha.zip
Folder=zeos
SearchPath="src\component","src\core","src\dbc", "src\parsesql", "src\plain"
Includes="$BaseFolder\src\component","$BaseFolder\src\core","$BaseFolder\src\dbc","$BaseFolder\src\parsesql","$BaseFolder\src\plain"
;GroupIndex=1
D14="packages\delphi14\ZCore.dpk", "packages\delphi14\ZPlain.dpk", "packages\delphi14\ZParseSql.dpk", "packages\delphi14\ZDbc.dpk","packages\delphi14\ZComponent.dpk", "packages\delphi14\ZComponentDesign.dpk"
