New components in Delphi2007

[Vercruysse Filip]

Hi,

i have just received (and installed) Delphi 2007 Enterprise.
i use some 3rd party components and i want to install them. in Delphi 7 i
use to do that through the menu, components->install new component.

i cannot find this option in Delphi 2007. How do i install these components
?

Vercruysse,

Delphi 2007 is binary compatible with Delphi 2006. So just go to the
Component|Install Packages menu item and add the Delphi 2006 version
design time pkgs (bpl's) from there.

If you have the source for those components, you can always open the
packages in Delphi 2007, compile and install them.

I have the source file from this new component, but when i open it in D2007,
i cannot compile it (
(compile and build menu option is disabled) ???

What kind of source file have you opened? If you only open a PAS file
it is not part of a buildable project, you have to open the DPK for the
supplied component package. If none is supplied with the component you
have to create a new design-time package and add the PAS files to the
package project. Then you can build and install the package.
