I am trying to install a new component (in Delphi 4.0)
and I get this message:

     "One or more lines is too long and has been truncated."

I thought I had a bad component, so I tried it with another
component, but I got the same message.

 Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

I've had this sort of message when copying bits of code from web pages. Setting
the cursor at the beginning of a 'word' on the next line and backspacing till
the text unwraps and then pressing enter fixes it. Could be a big job if
there's a lot of source. It might be worth opening in Wordpad and saving as a
txt or Dos/txt doc, I haven't tried it though.

Hi,

IIRC, this error occurs sometimes if you do not have the source code of
the components to install and the dcu file is for a different version of
Delphi. (As dcu file formats of different versions are incompatible)
