- Installation
-
- The file you downloaded is a self extracting installation program. It should
- be named one of the following:
-
- VCLZ2xxx.EXE for the Delphi 2 version
- VCLZ3xxx.EXE for the Delphi 3 version
-
- The xxx denotes the current version.
-
- Double clicking on this file will initiate the installation program. You will
- be asked to enter the directory where the temporary installation files should
- be copied to. The default is the same directory as the installation file.
- (After the installation you may wish to delete these files).
-
- The installation installs VCLZip in the C:\KPGB\VCLZip directory. You may
- specify a different directory, if desired. You will also be given the chance to
- perform a custom installation. If you choose custom installation you may
- decide whether to install
-
- 1. only the DCU's and HELP files.
- 2. only the Sample programs.
-
- For instance if you have previously installed this component for a different
- Delphi environment you may wish to skip the installation of the demo programs,
- especially if you have modified the source code.
-
- The installation process also creates a new program group named VCLZip. It
- will contain the following:
-
- Help (VCLZip's help file)
- Readme (Current Information about VCLZip)
- Register (Information about how to register VCLZip - also available in the
- Help File)
-
- Installing the Components
-
- Install the VCLUnZip.DCU file using the Component|Install dialog box. It will
- be added to the SAMPLES palatte. If you have registered, install the
- VCLUnZip.PAS file instead.
-
- Installing the Component's Help
-
- Move the VCLZIP.HLP file from your component directory to your DELPHI\BIN
- directory. Move the VCLZIP.KWF file to your DELPHI\HELP directory. Now
- run the HELPINST.EXE (either double click from File Manager in the HELP
- directory or from the icon in Program Manager. Now, while in HELPINST, click
- the open file toolbar button and find and select the DELPHI.HDX file in the
- DELPHI\BIN directory. Then click the '+' toolbar button and find and select
- the VCLZIP.KWF file in the DELPHI\HELP directory. This will add the
- VCLZIP.KWF file to the listbox that you can see. Now click the 'Save'
- toolbar button and the VCLZIP help file will be registered with Delphi. You
- may now exit.
-
- Installing the HELP files in this way will allow you to get context sensitive
- help on each property and event by pressing F1 while a particular property or
- event is selected in the Object Inspector.
