Zeoslib Portal

On attempting 7.1 install in Delphi XE I get the message that these changes must be made in order to install ZComponentDesign:

Remove ZPropertyEditor, ZComponentReg.
Unit(s) ZPropertyEditor, ZComponentReg were found in required package .

If they are removed there are no Zeos components on the tool palette.

OK this was due to old Zeos files in a Delphi 5 folder. I did not realize that Delphi also looks at the Windows path setting to find bpls. Like many developers I need to maintain several different Delphi IDEs. The solution is to temporarily put all other Zeos bpls into a temp folder, then install, then put them back.

Now however, I get the message 'Property UTF8StringsAsWideField does not exist' on opening a project. I press cancel and the app seems to work fine. This does not seem to be a case of mixing up old files because I temporarily renamed all possible old Delphi folders containing Zeos files.
