- Installing the ReportPrinter component suite is an easy process. If you
- have installed an older or demo copy of ReportPrinter, first remove all
- instances of those files from the component library and your hard disk
- before continuing with the installation process. If you do not do this
- you may get type mismatch or other errors.
-
- Step 1: Backup the component library file called COMPLIB.DCL in your
- \DELPHI\BIN directory. If you encounter any problems during the
- installation process, you can restore your component library by restoring
- this file.
-
- Step 2: Copy the files in the INSTALL sub directory found on the
- distribution disk into a directory on your hard disk (\DELPHI\LIB or
- \DELPHI\ADDON are good choices).
-
- Step 3: Load up Delphi and select Options|Install Components from the
- Delphi menu bar. Once the Install Components dialog window is displayed,
- click on the Add button and select the file RPREG.PAS in the directory
- that the ReportPrinter files were copied into in Step 2. You should use
- the Browse button to do this.
-
- Step 4: Click OK to return to the Install Components dialog box and then
- click OK to accept the changes. Delphi will now re-compile your component
- library. Once it is finished, you should have a new page on your component
- bar called Report that contains the new ReportPrinter components.
-
- NOTE: If you want to change the component page that the ReportPrinter
- components are installed into, modify the RegisterComponents call in
- RPREG.PAS before beginning the installation.
