Install on test version of XE6 - How to do?

[mandrew]

Here is the scenario:

We're trying out Delphi XE6 on a 30 day trial to see if it will work with our Delphi 7 legacy programs.
Trying to install Zeos 7.1 stable on said product.
Getting errors related to DecimalSeparator and ThousandsSeparator when compiling ZCore.bpl.
These are long-since deprecated Globals that are now removed.
Tracked down portion of code for these values, and found {$IFDEF WITH_FORMATSETTINGS}FormatSettings.{$ENDIF}DecimalSeparator;
Uncertain as to why this line does not seem to be working properly.

Is 7.1 version of Zeos the wrong download for us?
Or is it possible that the trial version of XE6 does not play nicely with Zeos 7.1?

Try to install version 7.2 ( now it is Revision 3210) from svn:
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/zeoslib/code-0 ... sting-7.2/
It has less bugs and is adapted to Delphi XE6.

(Add 2014.07.21):
and even better 7.2 Revision 3232.
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/zeoslib/code-0 ... sting-7.2/
http://zeoslib.sourceforge.net/viewtopi ... 464#p30464
It should give to install in Delphi from version 7 to XE6 and any of the current versions of fpc / Lazarus.
It has everything that 7.1 and is significantly faster.
During installation, it is worth to check and adjust the configuration of the packages (paths) to your Delphi environment.

Hello mandrew,

probably you will have to modify the Zeos.inc file to make the new version of Delphi known to Zeos. Maybe it is simply enough to copy that file from Zeos 7.2.
Best regards,
