Install old delphi componment

[Luca Petro]

Dear Codegear,
I'm trying to install some old component that I'm used to use with my C++
Builder 5 on the new C++ builder 2007.
Some components are in .PAS files and I usually installed them into the user
package.
I tried to do the same thing with C++ Builder 2007 but it show me an error
that means that I don't have Delphi installed.
I tried also to install package designed for delphi/cbuilder 2006, but the
error persist: You need a Delphi personalities to install the component.

It sims that to use C++ Builder 2007 I have to buy the RAD studio where
there is also delphi included, but I bought an upgrade version on C++
Builder: Lost I my money?

What I have to do to install component into C++ builder 2007 without Delphi
2007 installed?

Regards

Can you explain exactly what you are doing?

Are you trying to open a .dproj, .dpk, or other such Delphi project file?
If so, then that is the reason for the problem.

No.

CB2007 still has the ability to compile PAS files without having the Delphi
personality installed. Just as in the previous versions of C++Builder you
need to open the C++Builder project file (.cbproj, .bpk). If one doesn't
exist then you can create a new C++Builder project and add the .pas files to
that project file.

For future reference this question would have been better asked in:

borland.public.cppbuilder.vcl.components.using

The borland.public.install.cppbuilder newsgroup is for problems running the
C++Builder/RAD Studio installer or other problems related to installing the
IDE on a computer.
