Problem with extradev

rbuser

I have moved my delphi 4 setup to a new notebook. When I install xtradev I
get the following error.

I did file open and browsed to the extradev directory, selected the file and
installed and compiled it.(Is this the correct proc)?



[Fatal Error] Unit1.pas(12): Unit TXtraDev was compiled with a different
version of ppFilDev.TppFileDevice


Thanks in advance.

There is an installation exe for ExtraDevices that you should run to install
it. However, you can install the package into Delphi as any other design
time package. Here is how to recompile ExtraDevices for your installed
version of RB.


I. TExtraDevices
-------------

1. Select Install Packages in Delphi.
2. Remove the TExtraDevices package (xtradev.bpl).
3. Open xtradev.dpk in the ExtraDevices source directory for
your Delphi version (i.e., ExtraDev\Delphi6\Source\).
4. Click Install.

This should recompile TXtradev.pas with the new
version of RB.

Make sure you have completely uninstalled Extradevices from your machine.
Then reinstall it. If the installed version of Extradevices doesn't work
with your version of RB, then you need to recompile the Extradevices package
for your version of RB and install it as previously shown.

I have remove the previous version and installed the latest. 5.21 If I
create a new app and just put the extradevice on the form I get the
following run tim error.

I presume this means the earlier version is still installed but it does not
show in the installed packages.

Thank you in advance
