Cannot install components that worked under D7 in D2009


I have lots of components that worked perfectly under D7. I managed to compile and install them by dragging them into the Delphi 2009 IDE. However, when I try to use those components in a project, the compiler says it cannot find the source code of them. Where I can enter the path to that library in D2009?


Solution:

I dragged and dropped the old DPK file in Delphi 2009. Then in project manager I choose “Build” an then “Install”. Everything worked smoothly except that the applications that used the controls couldn't see its source. Problem solved by adding the path into the Tool-Options-Library Win32.

Thanks to everybody and especially to Mohammed.


Solution

  • Have you added the source path of the components to your library path?

    you can add it from Tools menu > Options > Library win 32 >Library path
