Installing Advantage Package(s) in BDS 2006

rbuser

Has anyone installed the Advantage package(s) into BDS 2006?

If yes, do you have a set of installation instructions that you can share?

Thanks, Patrick

Hi Patrick,

The installation of the Advantage DADE plugin should be fairly straight
forward. If you are receiving an version or "cannot find file" error when
building the package, you may need to alter the 'requires' clause to include
the proper ADSdxx package. Check your Advantage directory for the proper
package name.

Nico,

Thanks. I opened the package and changed the requires clause to use adsd2006
... Then compiled. I checked the "Lib" folder and had the expected DCU but
did not have a BPL.

Don't I need the BPL to install into the BDS2006 IDE and expose ADSSessions
type in the TppDataDictionary component?

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help, Patrick

From Delphi, select Tools | Options and check the Package and DCP output
library options. By default Delphi likes to put them in interesting
locations. I always make sure I delete the defaults and then it will
generate the DCP and BPL in the same directory as the package source.

RBuilder\Demos\EndUser Databases\Advantage\ReadMe.doc has step by step
directions for building the plug-in.

Nard,

Thanks. Deleting the DCP / BPL defaults worked.
