A TExtraDevices question.

rbuser

Delphi7 and RB latest release (10.07)

I've just installed the "TExtraDevices" package from Waler.com. When I try
to compile the package it says it can't find "IndyProtocols". Does anyone on
this forum know what version of Indy this package is compiled against ? I
know this isn't really a Report Builder specific question by Waler isn't
very quick at answering queries and I need a fast answer.

If you check txdefs.pas in the 'Extra' source folder, the version of Indy (9
or 10) is defined there. It defaults to 10 but you can comment out the
USEINDY10 define in the section for your particular version of Delphi.

Regards, Paul.

I have installed Indy 10 but the "TExtraDevices" package still says it can't
find "IndyProtocols". Can anyone tell me where this file is located ? Should
it be in the Windows System32 directory or in one of the Indy folders ?

On my installation (BDS2006, RB10.07)

IndyProtocols.dcu is in c:\Program Files\BDS\4.0\Lib\Indy10
IndyProtocols.dpk is in c:\Program

I think the problem is that the package I am installing from is for BDS
2005. Has anyone been able to install this under Delphi 7 ? Has anyone
noticed that Waler.com are happy to take your money but then don't answer
your emails ?

yes--but I am not sure what is causing your issues.


At the price he charges, I'm not sure how he provides any support, but I've
been happy with Waler's support--you may have caught him while on holiday
(vacation) as it is Thanksgiving time around here.

I've noticed that Indy will change the unit list even in minor updates and
make significant changes as well--ones that cause problems, even when theyr
is only minor reasons for such changes.
