Hello
i have tried to install this but it seems impossibul whatever i do it just won't install i get all kinds of weirdo errors:
[Fatal Error] ZPropertyEditor.pas(50): File not found: 'ZClasses.dcu'
This is one of them i get when i trying to install and other stuff thats being complaind on is when trying to install the other it says it is not in design mode
What can i do to get this to work in Delphi 7 ?
Have a wonderfull day.
Install of newest ZeosLib for Delphi 7 is not working.

Well, I had my problems installing it as well, but when things first started to roll, there were no errors what so ever.
I found, that IF you compile any of the packages in the wrong order, you MAY have to delete the whole, and unpack it again - as Delphi starts getting confused about which dcu's belong to where.
As a hint to install ZeosLib 6.6.0.beta:
1. A good hint: Read the installation instructions carefully.
2. All projects until the last, are to be compiled, not installed. If you do try to install, you'll receive an error ie. "Failed to install ZCore70.bpl, project is not a design package."
3. The last project (ZComponentDesign70.bpl) is to be installed.
4. You should get a dialog saying, that the ZeosLib components has been installed. (Please note: I successfully tested the components using the very latest MySQL database version).
The reason why I stumbled into this set of nice utilities, where because of the many wrappers out there discontinued until a DB version that is hardly available at all. Sigh! I have been testing components all night, FINALLY I found somethnig that works. Thanks a lot!

Well, I've been working around a lot of different aspects in Delphi, from hardcore Assembler till composing valuable (freeware) components, algorithms, using typecasting, forward streaming, own memory manager, mini-versions of Delphi units etc etc, and I still haven't figured how this giant new set of magic components is hanging along right into the latest standards of protocols.
I guess the best part of being superman, is to be able to hide all the sweat behind a big blue coat of super-knowledge, looking so "easy", that even the most complex parts start looking easy. Something tells me, that it shall take more than a single lifetime for me to get into the depth of it - even though I have worked around a lot of database stuff.
I just feel lucky, that I am not the one to sit back and debug these 100.000+ lines of code, and be able to sit back and enjoy the show of performance versus ODBC - or pay $$ for anything worth to mention a comparisson to this marvellous piece of art. Components like this is what defines the standards in the open source scene today.
10 out of 10 from me!

Ok, I finally got this thing done.
Can I add another hints ?
Things need to do before starting the compile / install process :
=========================================
1. Remove all previously installed zeosdbo component from Component - Install Packages ( not only unticked the design packages, but remove it with Remove button )
2. Remove/Delete all previously installed z*.bpl files & search path from earlier version zeosdbo
3. Add library search path for ..\packages\delphi7\build
4. Add library search path for ..\src\[all subfolders]
Hope this helps
