D5/RB602 Install problems

rbuser

I'm having trouble installing ReportBuilder v 6.02 with Delphi 5 (SP1). The
install seems to work fine but as soon as I start D5 up I get entry point
errors pointing to RBIBE55.BPL and VCLIB50.BPL.

I've tried uninstalling (cleaning up as per the techical tips) and
reinstalling. All to no avail..... aaaargh

I've tried it against IBX5.03 and IBX4.63 both give the same errors.

Does anyone know how to sort this problem ... please


TIA

I'm receiving the following error message:
"Unit daIBExpress was compiled with a different version of
IBDatabase.TIBDatabase"


Solution:
---------

If you are using the latest version of IB Express, then that is the problem.
For compatibility reasons, ReportBuilder's LIB units are compiled using the
plain Delphi 5.0 units with no patches applied.

To solve this issue, do the following:

1. Recompile daIBExpress.pas located in ..\RBuilder\Source. The easiest way
to do this is to add the unit to your Delphi project. You could also copy
the .pas file from \RBuilder\Source to ..\RBuilder\Lib.

2. If you want to use the DADE Plug-in for IB Express at Delphi design-time,
then you need to recompile the rbIBE55 package. The .dpk is located in
.\RBuilder\Source. Once you recompile the package, you need to copy the .bpl
to Windows\System (or System32 for NT).
