Trouble while installing ZEOSDBO 6.6.1 beta on Delphi 2007

BeyerF · Post by **BeyerF** » 29.03.2007, 09:01

Hi Folks,

after compiling all the ZEOSDBO 6.6.1 beta relevant units

ZCore100
ZPlain100
ZParseSQL100
ZDbc100
ZComponent100
ZComponentDesign100 and install this, there are no Components
in Zeos Database Components list.

Have anyone a idea what this mean?
Thank you

Hi,

This issue has been mentioned here before. If I remember well it had something to do with older versions being in the path. Is this a fresh install?
Maybe you can do a search here in the forum.

I think is this order:

* ZCore.bpl
* ZParseSql.bpl
* ZPlain.bpl
* ZDbc.bpl
* ZComponent.bpl
ZComponentDesign and install this

and that's all !!

Thank you for trying to help,

but my problem is not solved. It is a fresh install on the XP(SP2) system.
Both Delphi 2007 Enterprise and ZEOSDBO.

All compilings running without any errors and all dcu's are present.
Maybe is there a trouble in the path settings?

Hm, that's strange. In Delphi, when you go to Components > Install Packages, is Zeos Database Components checked? And when you highlight Zeos and click Components..., are they appearing? And path settings: normally there has nothing to be done. By default, ${Delphi}\Projects\bpl is already there. You could check if the Zeos bpls (ZCore.bpl... and of course ZComponentDesign.bpl) are there.

Rüdiger

...

look the 'ZeosTrouble.jpg' above, all bpl's and dcu's are present.
The component ist highlighted and checked but no palette-entries appears.

Frank,

I just installed these components on a brand new install of D2007....
All compiled.
I was unable to "install" the ZComponentDesign by right-click, so I clicked on menu item "component", then install packages and then I added the Zeos components there.
Of course the components do not appear unless you have a "form" or "datamodule" in the active view.

Best regards,
John

Hi John,

But they should at least appear in the Components... window in the Components/Install Packages menu (sorry, didn't see ZeosTrouble.jpg before). What about unchecking Zeos, closing Delphi and installing again? I know, an old trick...

Regards,
Rüdiger

Hi Frank,
I have exactly the same problem in D2k7.
I also have D7 installed on the same machine. I checked the library path settings but seems to be ok. May be something crossversion incompatibility?

Are there other people running both versions of Delphi on the same machine and able to install ZeosDbo in both versions?

Many thanks,
Hudgi

I've noticed when having D7 and D10 on the same machine, that D10 seems to take over paths declared in D7, resulting in very strange behaviour in D10. Try outputting the bpl's and dcp's to a specific path for each environment (in your project options), not taking the default.

Had the same problems installing under D2007 until I noticed that the ZEOS bpl's were placed in a different location than all the other bpl's.

ZEOS bpl's are placed by default in a subfolder of the users's Documents folder.

All the other D2007 bpl's are placed in a subfolder the Public Documents folder.

After I moved the files there my problem was gone...

Hope this helps.

Thank you folks,

but I give it up to install zeosdbo in Delphi 2007 together with a Version Delphi 6 before.
There is no way, the search pathes for the bpl's avoid this. I think I must develop on two machines ...

thank you again
Frank :thanks:

Hi Frank,

Ah, you didn't mention that you had installed Delphi 2006, you wrote it was a fresh install. And no way to have different search paths for the two versions?

Maybe create different OS users? Isn't it possible to have different PATH variables for different users?
Never gave it a try, but you can system variables on a per user basis if PATH is the problem.
WINXP : Windows Configuration Panel-> System-> 'Advanced' tab -> Button 'Environment Variables'

Some question, why do the libsuffix compiler directives not work? D2007 should install ZComponentDesign110.bpl where D6 uses ZComponentDesign60.bpl
